Mostly reading...

2012-02-03T01:20:00.000+08:00

and that's what I've been doing these few weeks I'm at home and quite contented to that. Anyways.

Finished with Practice Makes Perfect by Julie James and I can say it was a fantastic reading! And to finish it under a few hours is an accomplishment for me, ladies and gentleman. I am not a fast reader, but this novel definitely got me hooked up until the very end. I just couldn't stop reading. It's light, it's funny and it's definitely witty. A worthwhile read if you're into romance, of course. In this case, a legal romance which makes it much more interesting and trust me, it was. I was surely skeptical at first with this particular novel as I always do with new authors that I've never tried before, but the perception changed as I progressed further with the book and I can say I thoroughly enjoyed the whole reading process.

On the not so bright side, I'm still not finished with The Devil Wears Prada (Lauren Weisberger), which is kinda a disappointment to me. I started reading it like hmmm 3 or 4 days ago maybe and I'm still reading it now. This is so frustrating! The story is great, I like the way Weisberger crafted her words, simple enough to get you interested to continue reading but is not downright insulting to your intelligence. However, there's something about the story that I don't particularly like. Maybe the story is just too malicious for me. Miranda Priestly is just mean though she does possess a great fashion sense. Hmm..nil chance I'll be enjoying this novel like I did with Practice Makes Perfect, but it's not that bad also so I think I'll survive (but I did enjoy the fashion input, it was, how can I say this, informational? Lol. :D)

For the time being, I refuse to finish The Devil Wears Prada, so I think I'm going to continue my reading spree with this book by my favourite author, Sarah Addison Allen. So far, it has been a magical experience between me and her books. Love her, no doubt.

P/S: And no Faidhi, these novels are not for you considering that you and romance are not exactly on the same page. So nope, don't read all of these. Absolutely not your stuff.

A Mere Actress

2012-01-20T15:50:00.001+08:00

She lay under the grace of her favourite meadow, watching the sky, motionlessly. The dusk only began to set in and she could see the hint of twilight escaping from the trees, pouring the meadow with such a picturesque view. It was no doubt her favourite time of the day. The beautiful surrounding, however, could not soothe her disturbed emotions. Her mind slowly began to drift to that eventful day, the day she found out she was being lied and led on. Heartbroken, but luckily not destroyed.

She knew healing would take a long process. She was well aware of that. What she did not realize was how draining it could be to pretend that she was okay, that she was managing it well. All this time she had been lying. To her own self. To the people she loved, but mostly, to herself. Despite everything she had done or tried to do, she was still very much drowning in her own sorrow. She was far from being cured.

It was so unfortunate of her to be born in such a hypocritical world, where the value of honesty was being put so low. It disgusted her how she was forced out of her willingness to wear that hideous mask she did not even like. It disgusted her even more that she was beginning to like her role. While she was busy polishing her acting skills, her deep, meaningful thoughts remained stagnant at the back of her head. They were refused the privilege of being heard and listened to. The world, she realized, would rather believe all the beautiful lies than embracing the nasty truths. It was pathetic. She was becoming pathetic. That, had turn her life into a living nightmare, she was sure of it. The only reassurance she got was that at least her acting skills would entertain some people, even it was stiff and forced.

Honesty, apparently, is too extreme for this world.

Addicted. Nuff said.

The girl who chased the moon

2012-01-11T22:22:00.006+08:00

Every night she would sit at the balcony and look into the sky, faithfully searching for the moon. She would stare for hours just to marvel at its beauty. The moon was just a moon then. It was a harmless thing to do back then. The presence used to soothe her, but not anymore.

Now, the instant sight of the moon would remind her of the lost love and her heart broke. It used to fill her with a wonderful feeling, used to intoxicate her every vein in the body. She remembers her heart bursting with happiness, so much she danced under the night sky, oblivious to her surrounding. She remembers being high. She remembers being besotted with the moon. She was contented, so comfortable she drifted into sleep under the watchful gaze of the moon.

She didn't realize the moon had decided that it was time to go and disappear, silently. She woke up to meet the glare of the sun. Her eyes frantically searched for the entrancing sight of the moon, but her effort was in vain. She felt betrayed. The heart crushed. The blazing light radiated by the sun did not offer her the warmth she wanted. Instead, it blinded her. Her head's spinning, her knees wobbled, her grip weaken and that was when she couldn't stand it any longer and slumped to the floor, finally giving herself away to the gravity. A single sob escaped from her lips and before she knew it, she wept into the cold embrace of the designated tiles. No matter how much tears she shed, the heart refused to be mended.

The night has now become a constant reminder to her of how much she had given and would have given to be enchanted by the the moon. Enthralled by the beauty lay before her, she was fooled into desiring of its permanency when in the end, the light was going to die out and abandon her.

If only she could turn back time, she would. If only she could bring the now and the future and show them to her younger self, she would. If only she could decide whom are going to be in her life, she would. She would take all the necessary precautions. She must, for her own protection especially for that lump of meat that makes her into such a vulnerable human being.

In another life,

I would make you stay.

2012-01-04T14:00:00.004+08:00

I'm having withdrawal syndrome.

HELP!

Nothing serious

2012-01-03T08:19:00.003+08:00

Here I am eating nasi lemak or so I say. Let's see. Well, I have nasi putih, ikan aye, sambal ikan bilis and timun in front of me. But nope, no boiled eggs and nasi putih is just nasi putih biasa, bukan nasi yang dimasak dengan daun pandan and stuff tu. Doesn't taste like nasi lemak to me but delicious nonetheless. So, no complain. As I'm writing this sentence down, I just cleared my whole plate of nasi and lauks. Sedaaaap! Ngeh3. Might help myself with a second helping later.

And that's the introduction. Go figure. I always feel better when I talk about food, my food specifically. Lol. I changed the blog layout. Surprised, surprised. Might want to change the background picture later but we'll see.

Today is my last day at home. How do I feel? Ah, you know me. I'm a crybaby, and always a crybaby.

Plan to watch Fast 5 after this. But, I've got tonnes of work to do. Well, not really. Just a few, but still. I have this tendency to exaggerate things. So, don't believe everything I say. Lol.

I notice that I'm using more lol than haha and this has gone beyond my comfortable zone. I always feel that lol sounds rather fake and forceful and whatever. I like haha better. Just my opinion though, no offence. And why am I talking about this again? I must have no life. Lol. See? I'm using it again. T.T

Nursing a broken heart is rather tiresome, don't you think so? And nope, I'm not talking about me. Or maybe I am. I dunno. You guess.

Bye all. I'm definitely watching Fast 5 after this.

2012

2012-01-02T17:37:00.001+08:00

and I'm not going to talk about 2012, new year resolutions or whatsoever in this post. I hate talking bout that. Yes, the last number changed, but my life is still the same. Nothing's changing. So far lah. My age? Well, I'm still 21 ladies and gentlemen. Will not change until 3 months later. So yeah, deal with it :D

Uma advised us no matter what, you need to keep writing. That's why setting a goal is important. 200 words per day. A page per day. One line per hour. It doesn't matter, as long as you write. And that is what I'm trying to do now.

A couple of days ago, I came across this status posted by a friend of mine on her FB. You know, about 2011 is ending and anybody can ask me one question and I'll answer the questions honestly? Yeah, that's the one. So, I copied it and put it as my status, just for the sake of trying. Plus, it spelt fun to me. Not many asked, but it didn't matter. In a way, I was relieved. But the questions I got, well..they were interesting. Not personal, but deep enough to get me thinking.

There was this friend of mine, she asked me whether she can ask me 3 questions instead one. I said yes. What's the harm anyway? I like her questions. Not some useless, superficial questions that I could answer just by typing a few words and I'm done with it, nope, not that kind of questions. I had to think first. I had to do other things first before I could finally answer her question. You know what I like the best about her questions? They were therapeutic. Some of them. And now, I'm waiting for the third question. It doesn't matter 2011 had ended already, I like her questions. She can ask more than 3 if she wants, because really, I don't mind :)

One question a day. I like that idea. Maybe someday.

I'm off to eat some more goreng pisang. Some delicious little devils they are.

hmmm.

2011-11-25T19:43:00.000+08:00

What is friendship to be based on lies and pretenses?

Is it even considered a friendship?

Something to ponder upon.

Honesty, you don't get that from just anybody.

Ahhhhh!

2011-11-12T13:05:00.002+08:00

Screaming is such a good therapy...when you're stressed. Try it out. You'll be surprised how relief you'll be after that.

I'm depressed. Critical review proves to be much harder than I thought. Or maybe because we get so little information to begin with, that's why it seems to be such a difficult task. Oh I dunno. Whatever it is, I don't want to just come out with a critical review just for the sake of finishing it. I want my critical review to be perfect. Cause I screw the test so bad. I need this to make up for my test. Haih. I've been sighing a lot this whole week, I wonder why.

On the not so bright side, I over-baked my brownies because I was so engrossed with The Battle of the Labyrinth, I didn't go check on my brownies. Haih. I should have known with that kind of batter, it shouldn't take more than 15 mins to bake. 15 mins max. It was delicious nevertheless, but dry. I bet a scoop of vanilla ice cream gonna make it perfect. Yeah, I think it will do just that.

Must buy ice cream...after I'm finished with this darn work, of course.

I should get back to work, pronto!

R.I.P.

2011-11-10T11:24:00.001+08:00

It's hard for me to write this, but I have to, hoping that the feelings I'm having right now will not be as powerful as they are now.

I lost my dear friend in an accident on Friday's night. My ex-boyfriend to be exact. My boyfriend of 3 years and 2 months. And I am not coping very well right now. I'm flooded with memories of those years we spent together. It felt so surreal to hear about his death, and still is.

Sometimes I am okay. Sometimes I am not. Sometimes I cry, sometimes I don't. Most of the time, I lost in my own thoughts of him. Oh god, this is one hard news to digest.

I remember he never failed to mention that somehow he could feel he wouldn't live a long life, but being a mere human being I am, I of course dismissed the idea. Sometimes, it irritated me so much because he always talked like he knew when he's going to die. I let him be. I just couldn't be bothered anymore. The call I got last Saturday caught me off guard. He knew. Haih. I know, I know, it's fate and there's nothing we can do to stop it from happening, but you can imagine the guilt I am having right now.

And after the break up, I hadn't been exactly nice to him either. I was glad for our break up because we didn't really do well as a couple together, plus I got tired of having a relationship, I thought the responsibility was too much too handle at that time, but yeah, it didn't give me the right to treat him like a dirt, which I did. Yeah, I shouldn't do that. There were these unresolved issues between us that developed me into a bitter person, towards him especially, which explains my not-so-warm attitude towards him. What I regret the most is, I don't get to apologize to him. I kept delaying my apology, thinking that there is always another day to do that. Apparently not. Haih.

I can only pray for the best for him down there. May you rest in peace, friend. And I'll be forever chained to this guilt.

Alfatihah to Kharul Subbree Mohd Zaini.

Lesson to be learnt: Never let your ego hinders you from doing the right thing.

My mind's blank.

2011-10-30T11:11:00.001+08:00

When was the time I last wrote here? I can't remember. Writing seems impossible now, not that I don't have anything to write, I have LOTS to write, I must write a lot in fact, my endless academic journal entries always scream for my attention, they don't seem to decrease in number no matter how many pieces I have written and to be honest, I am tired of writing. My brain's fried. I need some fresh getaway from academic writing. At least for now. And thus, explains my presence here today. Ah, I miss updating my blog.

This gonna be one jumbled up update. My thoughts are so chaotic nowadays, I'm drowning in my own mind. Sigh. If only there's an organizer for the brain, I would buy hundreds.

1. Hmmm. Seeing you stirred a range of emotions in me, the ones I thought had long subdued, if not gone. I was restless. I panicked actually. I didn't expect I would see you there. In fact, that was the last place I thought I would meet you. I wish I have the ability to read mind. Not knowing is killing me.

2. I have 3 frikkin' tests this Monday. Yeah, this coming Monday. Oh, I just realized Monday is tomorrow. Why so cepat meh? Haiyooo. Sorry Research, but Sociolinguistics is far more important right now. How many topics I have to cover, again? -.-"

3. I have to modernize a fairy tale for my Creative Writing class. And I'm still not sure which fairy tale to choose, though I did download Rapunzel yesterday, but I'm not quite satisfied with it. I don't know why. Anybody has a suggestion for me?

4. Next week is my mid term break. YEAY! <3

5. Sometimes, in life, you have to be selfish for your own sake or else, you'll be used by the people around you. Except for a certain group of people, the others don't really give a damn about you. Not so much. So yeah, be selfish when the situation requires you to do so.

6. I really really need to shut down my lappy and go study and concentrate for at least a couple of hours, non-stop. And I should start now.

7. Err...

8. Yes, yes. I'm gonna stop here. Sayonara all.

P/S: This isn't really an update. I want to write more. And, please suggest me one fairy tale. Pleaseee!

What you must know.

2011-09-24T22:35:00.001+08:00

Mood: irritated. dead tired.

Hello mister, I know you'll be reading this since you love to stalk me that much kan, so here I am, making a special post, just for you. Read it, understand it, embrace it. The next time I'm talking mushy, don't be that perasan sangat okay. Or maybe you won't coz I finally removed you from my friend list, after so long. So yeah. I didn't want to do it at the first place actually, but you left me no choice, you were driving me nuts! Now you've gotten yourself a nice girlfriend already (in a short time pulak tu), then why bother to know about me anymore? I mean, it's okay to keep in touch as friends and such, I don't really mind that, but every time we chatted or texting, you always tried to cross the line. If you must know, I don't like to dwell on the past, I don't like the 'what-if' situations, lagi-lagi if they're already happened. Don't push me. Cukup la, I'd tolerated enough during the 3 years we were together. I've had enough.

The most important thing you must bear in mind is, I am so over you. I am free to like whichever guy I want, you don't have the right not to let me do that. And so just you know, you don't deserve me, Mr Ex-Bf bcoz I deserve someone way better than you. You only want me back after you've realized what you have lost, kan? And I'll be such a loser if I get back to you. Maybe if I find myself a new boyfriend only then you won't bother me? Urgh! Dah, don't bother me anymore. Pegi main jauh2. Tak payah nak amik tau sape yang saya suka. Jangan risau, saya suka laki baik-baik je, ok?

P/S: Bad mood.

Gifted Mr Ollivanders

My wand: Sycamore and Dragon, Eleven and Three Quarter inches, Surprisingly Swishy

Wood: Sycamore
The sycamore makes a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. It is a quirk of these handsome wands that they may combust if allowed to become ‘bored,’ and many witches and wizards, settling down into middle age, are disconcerted to find their trusty wand bursting into flame in their hand as they ask it, one more time, to fetch their slippers. As may be deduced, the sycamore’s ideal owner is curious, vital and adventurous, and when paired with such an owner, it demonstrates a capacity to learn and adapt that earns it a rightful place among the world's most highly-prized wand woods.

Wand Core: Dragon

As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.

The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.

I guess my wand does explain my lack of enthusiasm towards Pottermore right now. It's the truth that I tend to get bored pretty easily if I keep doing the same thing over and over again. In Pottermore, if I don't brew potions (which is hard!), then I'll practice my spells (the Wizard's Duel is still under maintenance!!). Sometimes, I go to Diagon Alley just to look around (sadly Quality Quidditch Supplies and Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour are still not opened to public yet, I'd love to shop in those shops, and if I have enough Galleons, of course.) Hmmm. What else? I think that's basically it. Every time I log in to my Pottermore's account, those are the main things I'll do. Every single time. And it's getting boring! I don't tolerate well with routines. I need challenges, I want adventure, I need something new to explore on. Potions proved to be a challenge, and even though I'm still suck at it, the challenge is not there anymore.

I pity my wand, and myself of course. We are both beyond bored. And to Mr Ollivanders, you've paired me well with my wand. I like my wand :)

Oh yeah, I'm in Gryffindor btw. If any of you here is in Pottermore, do tell. Lets become friends :)

A long thought.

2011-09-17T22:20:00.003+08:00

The older I get, the more I think like my mom. And this thing eventually came to my mind. Actually, I have been thinking bout it for a while, since last semester to be exact. It's has been a long thought, still contemplating on it, but I think I know what to do now.

Situation 1

At home, my mom doesn't particularly fond of the idea of me going out at night. If I'm going out to buy some groceries and stuff, or maybe on certain occasions, to breakfast with friends, then it's fine. With a curfew to meet of course. If not, then she will ask me macam2, then she'll say, tak payah la along, keluar esok pun boleh. Of course la, I wouldn't go out then. Unless it's a family dinner or my mom asks me to go out with her or something, I rarely go out at night when I'm at home.

Situation 2

Now lets talk about my life in Shah Alam. Been studying here for 2 years already. Currently in my 5th semester and I've been staying in my rented house since semester 2. Basically you have the idea of what living in a rented house is like, lagi2 when your parents are not living together with you. For the past semesters, I used to go out at night quite a number of times. Sometimes, I asked permission from my mum, sometimes I just didn't. Most of the time, I didn't. In her mind, she thinks I'll be staying at home during the night like I do when I'm at home, but actually I didn't. Yeah, I am that bad. But I didn't actually do wild wild things when I was having my night-out. There were among these choices; groceries shopping, 24-hour room, teman-ing my friends to go somewhere, or having my dinner which I did the most.

So, I've been thinking. My mum doesn't actually approve her girls going out at night when we the girls are at home and the rule applies everywhere we go. Because I'm so stupid and hard-headed before, I didn't think twice bout this particular thing and this explains my so many times night-outs. So I was thinking, what if on the night I went out and I got myself into an accident, and she found out from my friends or whoever that person is, what would she feel when she finally knew that I actually went out at night, and didn't tell her at the first place that I wanted to? She'd be very disappointed I suppose. And sad. I don't want to lie to my parents, to my mum especially. Some people just don't care. Because this is "the freedom", they go out whenever they like, wherever they want, just because their parents are far at home. I used to be like that. I don't want to be like that anymore. I want to be a better daughter to my parents, a better kakak for my siblings, a better person to the society.

To cut it short, if my mum doesn't like it, then I won't do it. From now on, only if she allows me, only then I'll go out. Tu pun to go the library. Cukup lah I wasted so much of my time before. It's time to grow up.

P/S: I told you I think like an adult now. Urgh. I feel so old already.

Got smurf-ed!

2011-09-06T00:11:00.003+08:00

I want these smurfs, pretty please!!

Sape2 yang belikan ni untuk saya,

saya janji akan sayang die sampai bile2! Hehe :)

Spent almost the whole day out with my smurf-mazing girl friends today and it was smurf-tastic! Went watch The Smurfs and since it was only available in 3D in our place, we really had no choice but to watch it nevertheless. I was scared + skeptical actually at first. I didn't want to waste my money for a barely passable 3D movie. Lucky me, it turned out to be a good watch actually. I don't know about the others, but I enjoyed the movie thoroughly! Many of the 3D effects seem real to me, so it was fun! I dodged my head quite a few times actually. Haha. And those little blue creatures, they are so adorable I tell you!!

Found this at Toys 'R' Us.

This one is Clumsy.

My loyal girl friends :)

Wouldn't trade them for anything else.

As usual, camwhoring before the movie started.

So yeah.

Terengganu has some of the best beaches in my opinion.

And this is one of them.

Credit: Ainul. Thanks for the smurf-licious photos! Sorry aku terdrop mu punye ~~camera cover~~ lens cap dalam laut. Aku bayor yang baru kekgi!

Artemis Fowl :)

2011-08-10T19:07:00.000+08:00

I bought this a couple of days ago.

Finally, after so long...

I don't like the new cover much though. It's kinda hideous :p

And it's weird reading Artemis being nice and all.

It's just weird.

So, can we not grow up?

2011-08-07T12:37:00.001+08:00

Right now, I pretty much hate growing up. There's nothing easy in growing up! Growing up forces you to do a lot of things you DON'T want to do in the first place. Growing up means more responsibility and less play. Growing up also means you can't focus on the present too much coz you've got a future to plan ahead. Growing up sometimes can be a pain in the a** bcoz you are expected to deal with your problems sensibly instead of crying it out loud. If you cry, people will recognize you as a lembik person. Urgh. I hate that mentality. Tak salah pun nak menangis. Sometimes, crying may be the best solution of all, when raw emotions are portrayed, and people get to see the real you. Tapi jangan lah sikit2 nak menangis. Yang tu memang lembik sungguh la. Hehe.

I think I've sidetracked a lil bit from the intended topic. Lol. So, growing up. It's a not a pleasurable business at all. Ok, sometimes I do enjoy it bcoz it means much more freedom. But hmmm...I miss the simplicity of childhood. The idea of all day play and no work is so appealing to me. ~~Nampak sangat malas nak buat keje~~. I remember I used to play so hard when I was a mere child, I once being kept out from the house by my mom. Yelah keluar rumah awal2 pagi, dekat2 nak senja baru nak balik. Mak mane tak marah. Almost everyday macam tu. When I was a child, I climbed all the trees in my grandparents' compound, I played 'masak-masak' with my cousins and neighbours and eventually the game evolved to 'kawin olok-olok'. I vandalized my grandpa's teaching place, the classes, the pondoks etc, which I regretted later on. I raced with the boys, of course it was only a bicycle race at that time. I used to have this bicycle that had a shape like a motorbike, so riding one was like riding a real motorbike,or at least we pretended to be. I also went fishing with my dad where I made my own joran and used sayur kangkung as the bait and were bitterly disappointed when I didn't catch the fish. Needless to say, my childhood was an adventurous one. AND I MISS THAT! Now is all work work work, and when you want to play, you got no time anymore to spend.

And you know what, it's so ever scary when our minds (I'm referring to my friends and I, btw) are focusing on the idea of getting married. We are talking marriage now, can you believe that?! I don't. Haha. Plausible yeah, but scary nonetheless! We're growing up way too fast to my liking!

if friends feel like siblings,

you fight, you make up, you get close again,

then they are your true friends,

and these are some of them :)

P/S: And I came out with this post bcoz I'm way too depressed now that Amin is making his way back to the States :(

Time well spent :)

2011-07-29T15:00:00.002+08:00

I seriously didn't expect my mom would allow me to go for a short vacation with my friends to Kelantan. Lagi2 we're going there by car, and not by bus. Lagi lah paranoid. Like when I mentioned to her I wanted to attend my friend's wedding in Muar a few months back, she was hysteric! Mom, as always, is a bit protective when it comes to her children being far away from her. So yeah, I was surprised when she finally said yes.

I was very excited, of course. That was expected as I've never been to Kelantan before. I have always wanted to go there, but my parents don't seem to have the time and my dad does not really like to travel much, which is a bit sad for us the family. Nvm. And this trip was kinda unexpected too, at least to me and Jet. Farahim had been planning to go there for quite a time I think, but couldn't really go just yet bcoz she needed more people to follow her so only then it's possible to go there by car. To cut the story short, off we go to Kelantan! :)

What can I say is, Kelantan had been spectacular! I really really enjoyed myself there. I met many wonderful people who were so nice to us, especially our hosts to the extent that they made us feel very guilty, strangers didn't feel like strangers there and we felt very much welcomed during our stay for 4 days. I shopped a lot too. Hehe. How could you resist when most of the stuff there you can get up to half the price from the normal prices? Trust me, I spent less there then the amount of money I would have spent shopping at other places. So pegi lah shopping kat sane kalu nak save duit. Hehe.

From left; Ummi, Farahim & Jet

We didn't get to try Nasi Ulam here coz went there just a lil bit too late.

This is sad! :(

This museum is interesting!

So I've been wondering,

nape kalu pegi jalan2 wajib lawat museum eh?

We had BBQ at Yat's home.

And yes, we BBQ-ed the food ourselves.

All of them, with not a single man in sight.

*proudestmoment*

Preparing for the best meal in our lives!

The best Nasi Kerabu ever, made by Yat's mom

for our breakfast before we went to Rantau Panjang.

Like seriously, if you want to have some delicious Nasi Kerabu,
go to Kelantan.

The best mee celur ever!

And not to mention, cheap as well.

Only can be found at Pa'lah Janggut.

Hihi.

At Masjid Cheng Ho.

At Masjid Kg Laut

Go google its history, then u'll know why we went there.

Attraction of the night at one of the stalls at Wakaf Che Yeh.

Hehe~

Borong-ing some tudungs.

Masjid Kristal, Terengganu :)

At Muzium Terengganu

Masjid Tengku Tengah Zaharah, Terengganu
aka Masjid Terapung

I love Kelantan.

I love spending my time there.

My new friends are super awesome.

I would definitely going there again!

P/S: Happy Birthday, Acik! =D

Mostly, rambling.

It's nearly 1 a.m. in the morning and I'm still wide awake while writing this piece of junk. It must be the coffee. Usually coffee won't work with me, no matter how much I drink it, I'll still be as sleepy as hell. But this particular coffee is different and not to mention, tasty too. One sachet could last me for several hours, which is not good considering that I've got nothing better to do now. Oh well.

Life has been pretty decent at the moment. This month alone, I couldn't keep track of how many times I went out with my friends. More than a few times I am sure. Hmmm..loads and loads of time, I'd say. I'm not complaining though. I hope my parents aren't too. Hihi. Anyways. Last Thursday, went to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 with Amin, Jet and Eno. The movie was okay, I liked it but it could have been better. If I didn't read the book prior to the movie, then I think I would have loved it to bits. But then, it's okay. ~~Maybe I'll do the review. or maybe not. Tengok lah camne. Hehe~~. Scratch that. I don't think I'll write the review. I know I'll be bias nanti. I always am when it involves Harry Potter series. It's like I have to protect it or something. I have wanted it to be perfect all along, I don't think I could handle negative reviews especially this is the last instalment and all.

View from Bukit Sayur.

It pretty, I tell you! Very!

The picture doesn't do the justice though.

Ok. My writer's block is back, which explains my lack of updates. I hate when that happens. Urgh.

Until next time.

Toodles!

P/S: I'm still not sleepy! Shouldn't have drunk that coffee :(

Pound Cake

2011-06-27T14:09:00.001+08:00

or also known as butter cake. Why? Coz the main ingredient for this recipe is the butter itself, so if you want your cake to taste superb, then choose butter with good quality you can find on the market like Anchor. Anchor is nice, I like it, recommended by my mom, but for this recipe, I used Buttercup and the cake still tastes awesome!

To make this cake, you'll need:

185 grams butter (room temperature)
150 grams sifted cake flour
150 grams granulated sugar
3 tablespoons milk (room temperature)
3 large eggs (room temperature)
1/4 teaspoon salt
11/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder

For detailed instructions, you can view it here! There's also a video available for this recipe, so you can always watch it to see how it is done. This recipe calls for 185 grams of butter, but since I was running out of butter, I topped it up with 40 grams of vegetable margarine and it tastes fine!

I tell you, kek ni sedap, especially the crust!! This cake will literally melt in your mouth, you just CANNOT STOP EATING! Haha. Go make yourself one now. Easy peasy, tutup mata pun boleh buat. Hehe.

I seriously have no idea what to update lately.

Going random

2011-06-13T21:07:00.003+08:00

Currently in Shah Alam and will be staying here for at least a week. I'm volunteering to be a liaison officer for the upcoming World Scholar Cup event (debate, persuasive writing, etc), school children aged 10-15 years old from 40 countries all over the world are coming here, so yeah I'm excitedddddd!

We'll talk about that later, what I did today was I went to watch X-men: First Class for the second time, this time around with my college mates, Fana and Akin. I'd expected myself to be bored during the whole 2 hours+ there, but I did not! It felt like watching the movie for the very first time! So sape2 yang tak tengok lagi, tolong lah pegi tengok. ;D

And I'm addicted to Mars.

I blame my tiredness for the lack of ideas for this post.

Photographer of the day;

my 3-year old cousin, amirul.

Would like to make this once I'm home. Looks delicious to me.

X-men: First Class

2011-06-09T01:49:00.003+08:00

The main characters, from left;

Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto (Michael Fassbender)
Moira MacTaggert (Rose Byrne)
Emma Frost (January Jones)
Azazel (Jason Flemyng)
Hank McCoy / Beast (Nicholas Hoult)
Alex Summers / Havok (Lucas Till)
Angel Salvadore (Zoe Kravitz)
Raven / Mystique ( Jennifer Lawrence)
Charles Xavier / Professor X (James McAvoy)

There are three other main characters which aren't in the picture, Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) who is, according to Amin, is the Mastermind ( I didn't know about this as I don't follow the comic) and also the bad guy in this movie and the other character, though he didn't appear as much as the other mutant fellows, should be mentioned here; he is Armando Munoz aka Darwin, his mutant name. Also, Caleb Landry Jones played the character of Sean Cassidy/Banshee.

Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-MEN (Twentieth Century Fox)

Went to watch this with Amin and Chen last Tuesday. Frankly speaking, I was having mixed feelings about this movie before I got to watch it. No matter how many good reviews I've heard from other people who had watched this, I was still in doubt. Different people different perception rite? After 2 hours and 11 minutes spent in the cinema, I'm glad to say that, it was definitely worth watching!

To be honest, my main intention to watch X-men aside from the reason because IT IS another of X-men movie, was to see how good James McAvoy played the character of Charles Xavier or later known as Professor X. While he had managed to do justice to that character, bringing the revelation of Charles Xavier's characteristics and attitude in other X-men movies, my attention began to shift to Erik Lehnsherr or commonly known as Magneto. Seriously, Michael Fassbender did a magnificent job of portraying darkness within Magneto. The moment he appeared on the screen, he caught my attention almost immediately and lasted until the very end of the movie. I must say, from all of the characters in the movie, Erik was the most interesting part of the story. His share of bad experiences regarding of his family making it understandable for him to be the way he was throughout the story. His acting felt soooo natural it almost made me believe it was his true nature all along. When you watch this movie, you will feel his pain, it feels so close to your heart, that you cannot hate Magneto anymore after this. That was what I felt anyway. The thing that I liked the best about this story was the friendship between between Charles and Erik. Again, it felt natural and not 'acted'. It was kinda heartbreaking to see the end of their friendship, more like brotherhood to me. :( I must thanks the production team because they had definitely done a great job of choosing these two actors. Kudos!

Ok, enough about them. Lets talk about the other characters. Raven or Mystique, was another character I didn't really understand when I watched the other X-men installments. I especially didn't get the attachment between her and Magneto, why she was so willing to do anything for him, to be his eyes and ears. I've got confused whether she was a good mutant or not (like I mentioned above, I don't follow the comic) and in this movie, my confusion was finally resolved. I like Mystique in this movie! The other mutants like Emma Frost, Azazel, Hank Mccoy/Beast, Alex Summers/Havok, Angel, Armando/Darwin and Sean/Banshee were good as well though I would like to see more of Darwin and Angel cuz I think their characters were under developed. Oh not to forget, Sebastian Shaw. He was indeed a fantastic bad guy! He played the character so well, you will hate him right after his first scene ended, or maybe prior to that. And I think his superpower is so cool! Am not going to reveal what are the superpower of these mutants, you have to watch them by yourselves! =D

I think I have written more than enough. I'd get lucky to have you reading until here. It's a long review, I know. Sorry people, couldn't make it much shorter cuz I have so many things to talk as written above. Hehe! Overall, I'm giving this movie 4/5.

My last social commentary: Go watch it! =)

The Wedding

2011-06-06T16:25:00.005+08:00

Just got back from my cousin's wedding. Arrived home around 7-ish pm yesterday. I didn't realise I was that tired, my mom had to ask my brother to force me to wake up, starting somewhere in the middle morning until late afternoon. I told you I was tired kan. Hehe. I could have been sleeping for the whole day if a certain somebody didn't send a certain somebody to wake me up. Hehe.

Anyways. The wedding, as expected, was a tiring business. I really didn't do anything helpful on both days, during the akad nikah ceremony and the reception. We arrived there on the akad nikah ceremony day itself, so everything was settled and done with. The reception, on the other hand, was held at Serendah Community Hall, so basically, there wasn't any work to do at the house (padahal berlambak je, macam packing the door gifts. Muahaha! XD) The only thing I did constantly on both days without failure was eating. The food were so good, how could I refuse? As a result, I got tummy ache today. Quite bad jugak actually :(

The urge to get married seems to double now that my cousin is married. Hi hi. The only thing that seems to turn me off right now is the preparation!!! Even looking at the things they did to prepare my cousin for the akad nikad as well as the reception ceremony on the next day, which was yesterday, tire me already. Getting dressed, putting make up, waiting for the ceremony to begin, there were tiring and this is only from the outsider's point of view! I wonder what did my cousin feel on these two days? But I guess the excitement to be finally married to the person you love must overcome the exhaustion. Kan?

the bride =)

sekali lafaz je. terbaik lah.

sume orang pun nervous time akad nikah ni.

during the reception.

We managed to stay for a while only,

then have to rush home to send my sister to Dungun.

at the backyard, with my sis and cousin.

you can actually see Genting Highland from here.

crazy little monsters.

penat jaga T_T

Adik, Ma, Along :)

10 Things You Want to Say to One Person

1. I'm sorry our relationship didn't work out. I really do. But what can we do? We are not meant to be together.

2. I hope you don't dwell on the past anymore. Start anew and don't think too much about me dah. Will you?

3. Stop being so miserable. It pains me to see you behaving this way.

4. It took me 3 years to realise that I had fallen out love with you a long time ago. A harsh but unfortunately true statement :(

5. Don't think too much of what had happened. It's not your fault. It's not our fault. If we are fated for each other, then we'll be together jugak eventually. Have faith.

6. Don't intoxicate yourself with bitterness. I don't like it. At all! :(

7. Yeah I admit, I do like a certain someone now.

8. I know this is going to hurt you, but I'm happier now. You need to know the truth. I can't pretend to be miserable and unhappy with my life, when I am actually not.

9. I'm very very sorry for the grief I had caused to you.

10. You definitely deserve someone who is better than me. So, start looking ;)

friend forever!<3

10 Things You Hate

1. Any slimy creatures i.e., snakes, worms, frogs. You get the idea, right?

2. A messy house especially my bedroom. Oh, my car as well, though it's not technically mine in the first place. I guess I should say, my borrowed-from-my-dad car :)

3. Tardiness, especially for something important.

4. Slow drivers. Sorry, but sometimes they kill my mood.

5. Fresh milk. I can't stand the smell. But I do love chocolate milk!

6. When someone takes my things without my permission and put them back at the wrong places. Grrr~ I'm very possessive about my things.

7. Privacy invasion, especially matters regarding my marks. Don't be a nosy being boleh tak?

8. Waiting for public transport. It can be a very draining task.

9. People who always manage to say they don't this and that but turn out to be doing that exact action later on. Like I say many many times, don't talk if you can't walk the talk.

10. Poor internet connection.

P/S: Sometimes the best way to get someone’s attention is to stop giving them yours. True enough.

Day 2

2011-05-25T12:20:00.003+08:00

10 Things You Love

1. Like I mentioned before, books, books and more books. I'd like to have a collection that I could be proud of. A collection that could build a mini library in my own house, maybe?

2. My cat and her kitties. And also any other cat ;)

3. Popiah SACC. Hakim's cheese naan. They are the best! Try them. You'll get addicted, trust me.

4. Swimming. It's the only sports that I don't get tired easily. It's fun and I get to exercise. What more could I ask, eh?

5. Crushing on someone. It's a very niceeeeeeeeee feeling. You've got to like somebody but you don't have to commit to him. I'd say this is the best deal. For me lah, at this moment. ;)

6. Baking, cakes, pastries and whichever that falls into this category.

7. Shopping, obviously! :D

8. Hanging out with with friends.

9. Omg, how could I forget this until now! I definitely love beaches!

10. Teh Ais. All time favourite.

P/S: Allah never asks us to disgrace other religions just because we are Muslims. Respect them and they will respect us in return.

Day 1

2011-05-24T11:49:00.002+08:00

Yeah, yeah. I know. Everyone seems to be doing this thing nowadays. The 30-day project, in Ainul's case, Project 52, which turns out to be very addictive because she has all those pretty pictures, you just can't stop looking! ;)

I found this on Mai's blog. Since everybody is so into this thing, I might as well be one of them. So, here we go.

10 Things about Me

1. I like doing house chores. You might think I'm trying to impress you, but I'm not. I actually like it. I especially love sweeping the floor and washing the dishes.

2. I have a thing with speeding now. I like driving fast especially at the corner of the road. I know this is a dangerous habit, but I can't help it. It sorta in the system, you know.

3. I'm in love with books and always have been. Our relationship is rock solid. No one can challenge that ;)

4. I like being single. No kidding. So yeah, no relationship for me, at least not now.

5. I like the smell of the grass after a rainy day and the smell of the tar when a road is being constructed. <3

6. I think I have anger management issue. I think.

7. If I don't like something, then I don't. You can't ask me to pretend to like it, because I can't. I've tried it before and I failed. I have issues with hypocrisy. Yeah, I know in life we have to be hypocrite. It's hard for me to do that.

8. I have a cat named Tompok and three newborn kitties, no names yet. I love them like crazy.

9. I've gotten myself two UGLY scars recently because I accidentally rested my hand on the burning hot oven's handle. OUCH!

10. I'll throw whatever I have in hand if something/someone shocks me. All the time.

Ok dah siap! :D

New Skin

2011-05-23T11:10:00.003+08:00

I've been meaning to change my blog layout for ages. I finally did it today. A big thank to boredom. You are definitely the sole motivator for me to spend my entire morning, doing this thing, which I won't even bother on any other normal day. So yeah.

Anyways.

I like the new layout. It's simple.
It has all the nice colours.
No unnecessary widgets.
Yeah, I think I like it.

I'd be more enthusiastic about this if I can figure out how to do those tiny boxes that are usually found at the top of the blog; HOME, ABOUT, etc..You know what I'm talking about kan?

The bottom of the blog bugs me as well.
It looks kinda messy to me.
Oh well, it'll have to do for now.

So, what do you think?
Yay? Nay?

P/S: Spring cleaning phase 1 completed. Phase 2 coming up tomorrow! ;)

What a day! :D

2011-05-21T18:59:00.006+08:00

Today is Saturday, 21 May 2011. So, what do we have in common today? Yes, you've nailed it people, it's the registration day for first-year students!

I've been very excited this whole week to send my sister to UiTM Dungun today partly because this time around I've got to be the one that sends one of my family members instead of being the one that is sent away. So the feeling is definitely different! My dad mentioned to me earlier last night, if I want to be a part of the 'sending committee', then I have to wake up early. He asked me, "Are you able to do that?" Huh, nampak sangat tak percaya dengan kebolehan anak sendiri. Of course la, I can. Hihi. Apparently, I did wake up early, but with major help from my sister. =P

We got ready, yadda yadda yadda...around 8am off we go to Dungun, which is one-hour drive from our home. I know, what an early start we made, huh? Lucky we made that choice, because by noon the heat became so unbearable, we had to find comfort from such delicacies we called as ice cream and ABC. ;)

I haven't tell you the best part yet! Ok, call me an ignorant, but I only found out that my sister's university is located right before a beach. Just a stone's throw away. So macam excited giler.

View from my side of the car ;)

There, beyond these trees ni haa is the beach.

And from the other side of the car, the UiTM itself.

Takde gambar utk yg tu. Not interesting enaf =P

Another interesting part in ma story is this.

Yes, they actually sell bicycles during the registration process, right inside the college compound! You see, this is another fact I've just found out, UiTM Dungun is soooooo big (dah macam rupa UiTM Shah Alam dah), that most of the students here opt bicycles as one of the means of transportations, besides walking of course. You don't believe me meh? Ok, lemme show you the evidence,

Haa, itu die. Berlambak.

There ARE more!

Ok, minus that out-of-place motorbike.

But I wonder who's the owner of the this particular bicycle...

Jeng,jeng,jeng...

...

....

.....

A uni student uses this kind of bicycle?

Adorable!

Hihi ;)

Ok, I'm officially jealous with the students here coz they get the chance to go riding around the campus. Macam cool giler je dapat cycling ramai2 pegi kelas. Plus, it's a healthy habit too! Nak pindah UiTM boleh? ;D

So, back to my sister, she registered, got the LG room (which is great, btw!), unpacking, went to lunch and before the rest of us went home, we had a round of ABC! Yummeh!

my sistah! ;)

A lake inside the uni compound.

Pretty much like UiTM Melaka,

except there is no jambatan mabuk ;)

Mine! :D

A stroll in the beach would complete my day,

but not with this kind of weather.

Nevertheless, it's a beach and I'm happy!

Ok now I'm pooped! To those who are registering tomorrow, have a great day ahead! Toodles! =)

P/S: Tomorrow is a spring cleaning day. Phase 1!

Because he is a muslim

Taken from http://mr-tazkirah.blogspot.com

P/S: One thing I miss the most about MRSM K.Terengganu is the tazkirah session. Rindunya nak dengar tazkirah. It has been a long since I listen to a proper one.

Of popiah, doggie paddle, SNAP and word search

2011-05-10T22:44:00.001+08:00

At that like this, I miss spending my time with my friends. We might be doing the same routines over and over again, but I don't mind. Because they keep us closer. Really :)

I like the fact that we would be making tonnes and tonnes of excuses just to go out and get some popiah (the most delicious activity I don't ever wanna give up! Hehe)

And when we feel our bodies need some exercises, we would go swimming and do some doggie paddle instead. Or racing each other to the other side of the swimming pool. Or anything else we feel like doing. Less swimming though. =P

If there is an award for those who had booked and used the discussion room the most for this semester, undoubtedly the award will go to us. But...it was only because we wanted to play SNAP! Haha, yes! Ok lah fine, ade la jugak discuss and study sikit-sikit. Hihi.

Remember the Word Search game, girls? It was a challenge to beat some of you, to be the fastest. Really!

If you still can't figure out the purpose of this post, then don't do anything for at least an hour. Then come back and read this. You'll understand. Or you can always look at the postscript below. ;)

P/S: I'm at home. I'm bored. I've got nothing better to do than coming out with this post. Sue me. ;)

missing home :'(

2011-04-27T20:06:00.002+08:00

My dad's drawing.

He drew and painted this together with my baby brother this evening.

It has been so long since I last seen him drawing and painting.

And I kinda miss that.

I miss home :'(

P/S: Roti canai tomorrow!

Kangaroo Mail

2011-03-09T23:17:00.001+08:00

Why this KANGAROO is bad for you?

1. Even though it guarantees you that you'll receive your parcel(s) or document(s) within 1 to 2 working days, there isn't necessarily the case. Like me, for example. My father posted a very urgent document last Thursday, but only on Monday I received it, late in the afternoon pulak tu! Nasib baik on time, because I was supposed to deliver that document on that very day.

2. Your complaint will not be entertained! I was beginning to worry when I still hadn't received my document by Saturday. So, I sent a complaint through the email, hoping that somebody would explain the situation to me. Maybe something happened to the document or something. But nahh, not a single reply or an apology was received from the company.

3. When you call the company to inquire about your thing, especially when you still haven't received it, you'll be treated like a rubbish. I especially didn't like the tone used to me! How dare she.I'm your customer, and I have the right to be angry because I was so damn worried about my document. It's a very important document mind you. And you dared to talk to me like that, huh?

4. The delivery boy will not call you to ask your whereabout, because he is too stingy to use his own credit. That was what happened to me. Tolong la, it's something that comes with your job la. If you don't want to use your own credit to call the customers, then don't work for mail service. You'll only get us in trouble.

Haish. Geram betul. After this, I'll definitely will not be using this service anymore. The only reliable post service I could think of right now is by Pos Malaysia.

Dah la people, I need to start reading The Lesson for tomorrow's class. Toodles!

Rainbow Cake

2011-02-10T19:12:00.004+08:00

This cake is made with actual fruits instead of just tinting the layers with food colouring. Seriously, this is just too awesome! Can someone bake this for me? Hehe.

Red- 1/2 cup pureed strawberries

Orange- Two tablespoons of freshly grated orange zest and 1 tsp. freshly squeezed orange juice

Yellow- Two tablespoons of freshly grated lemon zest

Green- 1/2 cup of diced kiwi

Blue-1/2 cup of blueberries, plus a few pureed for color

Purple- 1/2 cup of finely diced purple grapes, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon orange zest

My craving for cake is real bad now. Where to search for one at the moment? I don't feel like going out and definitely don't feel like buying one. I want a home made cake! How I wish my rented house owns an oven, then I'll probably be baking now, making some delicious cake something something. Hahah! At least, Shila is going to bring back me a chocolate chip muffin in a while! Wee~

Gonna resume eating my cloud 9. That's the closest thing I have to cake-like food right now. Sigh. I want a slice of cake! ;(

The Tourist

2011-01-10T11:18:00.008+08:00

Went out last night together with my housemates to watch The Tourist. I've been dying to watch this movie since the first day of the screening. I don't have any particular reason for wanting to watch this movie so bad except to enjoy a good movie, since the starring actors are JOHNNY DEPP and ANGELINA JOLIE. It's only natural for each and everyone of us to presume this could be another blockbuster movie in the making.

However, I was thoroughly disappointed with The Tourist. The story line sucks, and the character played by Johnny Depp didn't do any justice to him at all! I can understand Angie's part, I mean how many times I have not watched her to play a double agent role to the point that it's becoming a bit cliché to me, like in the movie Salt, remember? What I'm trying to say here, one of the reasons the movie didn't work out for me is because JD's character was so passive in this movie. Yeah sure, there were the unexpected twists towards the end of the story, but because of his passiveness, I was not surprised at all to actually find out about the so-called twists. In fact, I was kinda expecting for them. Fyi, there were two major twists in this movie, but in my humble opinion, I think they were poorly manifested. Sigh.

And another thing that pointed towards the fall of this movie was when I was inclined to enjoy the scenery more, rather than enjoying the story line. Yes, this movie is THAT bad. Most of the story took place in France and that country never fails to amaze me in so many ways. I wish I can go there someday. Hopefully :)

Overall, it's only fair to award 2.5/5 after so many injustices they had done in The Tourist. And I wasted my RM14 for nothing. Grrr...I hate that!

I just don't like an unhappy ending!

2011-01-05T12:16:00.001+08:00

Spoiler ahead, so you are warned.

I just finished watching House season , episode 6. And not wanting to wait for another hour to know what will happen to Cameron and Chase's marriage, I fast forward the next episode. So yeah, they did get divorced. Sigh. It saddened me very much, though I have known that is exactly what gonna happen in this season, I just don't like a bad ending. And now, I don't feel like watching House anymore. Specifically, season 6. But still, having been following this series since it was first out, not wanting to watch it feels like a wrong thing to do. But to watch it and having to witness that Cameron and Chase are separated for good, it kills me. What a dilemma.

I can't believe I'm worrying myself about this thing. Lol, funny me. I think I'm taken a liking to those characters way deeper than I thought. And guess what? I just found out that Jennifer Morrison (Cameron) and Jesse Spencer (Chase) were engaged for a while before they broke up. And that's all they're meant to be.

The Lottery

2011-01-04T17:57:00.001+08:00

by Shirley Jackson.

I'd like to share this literature piece I've read and learned and interpreted today in my Literature and Media class, together with my soon-to-become-favourite-of-all lecturer, Mr Kieran. Such an eye-opening, this short story is. And you know what, Mr Kieran doesn't own a mobile phone and he also doesn't watch tv. Including the news. Especially the news, according to him. Haha. The question is, how can he survive , especially when technology is the must thing now? I'd be dying already if I don't have my phone and the internet. Both are equally important! One cannot live without another. Lol! And you know what, he also walks to the faculty from Section 4 to Section 17 every day! I wonder if I can do all of those things. The walk is manageable (I think, lol), but no phone, no tv like ever? What a life. You have to be dedicated!!! I don't think I can, at least not at the moment. But I do hope someday I will reach a stage in my life, where materials don't interest me anymore. I'll wait for that ;)

Anyway, enjoy reading this. And do tell me what you think of it!

The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 2th. but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.

The children assembled first, of course. School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play. and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix-- the villagers pronounced this name "Dellacroy"--eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys. and the very small children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.

Soon the men began to gather. surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother's grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his father and his oldest brother.

The lottery was conducted--as were the square dances, the teen club, the Halloween program--by Mr. Summers. who had time and energy to devote to civic activities. He was a round-faced, jovial man and he ran the coal business, and people were sorry for him. because he had no children and his wife was a scold. When he arrived in the square, carrying the black wooden box, there was a murmur of conversation among the villagers, and he waved and called. "Little late today, folks." The postmaster, Mr. Graves, followed him, carrying a three- legged stool, and the stool was put in the center of the square and Mr. Summers set the black box down on it. The villagers kept their distance, leaving a space between themselves and the stool. and when Mr. Summers said, "Some of you fellows want to give me a hand?" there was a hesitation before two men. Mr. Martin and his oldest son, Baxter. came forward to hold the box steady on the stool while Mr. Summers stirred up the papers inside it.

The original paraphernalia for the lottery had been lost long ago, and the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born. Mr. Summers spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box. There was a story that the present box had been made with some pieces of the box that had preceded it, the one that had been constructed when the first people settled down to make a village here. Every year, after the lottery, Mr. Summers began talking again about a new box, but every year the subject was allowed to fade off without anything's being done. The black box grew shabbier each year: by now it was no longer completely black but splintered badly along one side to show the original wood color, and in some places faded or stained.

Mr. Martin and his oldest son, Baxter, held the black box securely on the stool until Mr. Summers had stirred the papers thoroughly with his hand. Because so much of the ritual had been forgotten or discarded, Mr. Summers had been successful in having slips of paper substituted for the chips of wood that had been used for generations. Chips of wood, Mr. Summers had argued. had been all very well when the village was tiny, but now that the population was more than three hundred and likely to keep on growing, it was necessary to use something that would fit more easily into he black box. The night before the lottery, Mr. Summers and Mr. Graves made up the slips of paper and put them in the box, and it was then taken to the safe of Mr. Summers' coal company and locked up until Mr. Summers was ready to take it to the square next morning. The rest of the year, the box was put way, sometimes one place, sometimes another; it had spent one year in Mr. Graves's barn and another year underfoot in the post office. and sometimes it was set on a shelf in the Martin grocery and left there.

There was a great deal of fussing to be done before Mr. Summers declared the lottery open. There were the lists to make up--of heads of families. heads of households in each family. members of each household in each family. There was the proper swearing-in of Mr. Summers by the postmaster, as the official of the lottery; at one time, some people remembered, there had been a recital of some sort, performed by the official of the lottery, a perfunctory. tuneless chant that had been rattled off duly each year; some people believed that the official of the lottery used to stand just so when he said or sang it, others believed that he was supposed to walk among the people, but years and years ago this p3rt of the ritual had been allowed to lapse. There had been, also, a ritual salute, which the official of the lottery had had to use in addressing each person who came up to draw from the box, but this also had changed with time, until now it was felt necessary only for the official to speak to each person approaching. Mr. Summers was very good at all this; in his clean white shirt and blue jeans. with one hand resting carelessly on the black box. he seemed very proper and important as he talked interminably to Mr. Graves and the Martins.

Just as Mr. Summers finally left off talking and turned to the assembled villagers, Mrs. Hutchinson came hurriedly along the path to the square, her sweater thrown over her shoulders, and slid into place in the back of the crowd. "Clean forgot what day it was," she said to Mrs. Delacroix, who stood next to her, and they both laughed softly. "Thought my old man was out back stacking wood," Mrs. Hutchinson went on. "and then I looked out the window and the kids was gone, and then I remembered it was the twenty-seventh and came a-running." She dried her hands on her apron, and Mrs. Delacroix said, "You're in time, though. They're still talking away up there."

Mrs. Hutchinson craned her neck to see through the crowd and found her husband and children standing near the front. She tapped Mrs. Delacroix on the arm as a farewell and began to make her way through the crowd. The people separated good-humoredly to let her through: two or three people said. in voices just loud enough to be heard across the crowd, "Here comes your, Missus, Hutchinson," and "Bill, she made it after all." Mrs. Hutchinson reached her husband, and Mr. Summers, who had been waiting, said cheerfully. "Thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie." Mrs. Hutchinson said. grinning, "Wouldn't have me leave m'dishes in the sink, now, would you. Joe?," and soft laughter ran through the crowd as the people stirred back into position after Mrs. Hutchinson's arrival.

"Well, now." Mr. Summers said soberly, "guess we better get started, get this over with, so's we can go back to work. Anybody ain't here?"

"Dunbar." several people said. "Dunbar. Dunbar."

Mr. Summers consulted his list. "Clyde Dunbar." he said. "That's right. He's broke his leg, hasn't he? Who's drawing for him?"

"Me. I guess," a woman said. and Mr. Summers turned to look at her. "Wife draws for her husband." Mr. Summers said. "Don't you have a grown boy to do it for you, Janey?" Although Mr. Summers and everyone else in the village knew the answer perfectly well, it was the business of the official of the lottery to ask such questions formally. Mr. Summers waited with an expression of polite interest while Mrs. Dunbar answered.

"Horace's not but sixteen vet." Mrs. Dunbar said regretfully. "Guess I gotta fill in for the old man this year."

"Right." Sr. Summers said. He made a note on the list he was holding. Then he asked, "Watson boy drawing this year?"

A tall boy in the crowd raised his hand. "Here," he said. "I m drawing for my mother and me." He blinked his eyes nervously and ducked his head as several voices in the crowd said thin#s like "Good fellow, lack." and "Glad to see your mother's got a man to do it."

"Well," Mr. Summers said, "guess that's everyone. Old Man Warner make it?"

"Here," a voice said. and Mr. Summers nodded.

A sudden hush fell on the crowd as Mr. Summers cleared his throat and looked at the list. "All ready?" he called. "Now, I'll read the names--heads of families first--and the men come up and take a paper out of the box. Keep the paper folded in your hand without looking at it until everyone has had a turn. Everything clear?"

The people had done it so many times that they only half listened to the directions: most of them were quiet. wetting their lips. not looking around. Then Mr. Summers raised one hand high and said, "Adams." A man disengaged himself from the crowd and came forward. "Hi. Steve." Mr. Summers said. and Mr. Adams said. "Hi. Joe." They grinned at one another humorlessly and nervously. Then Mr. Adams reached into the black box and took out a folded paper. He held it firmly by one corner as he turned and went hastily back to his place in the crowd. where he stood a little apart from his family. not looking down at his hand.

"Allen." Mr. Summers said. "Anderson.... Bentham."

"Seems like there's no time at all between lotteries any more." Mrs. Delacroix said to Mrs. Graves in the back row.

"Seems like we got through with the last one only last week."

"Time sure goes fast.-- Mrs. Graves said.

"Clark.... Delacroix"

"There goes my old man." Mrs. Delacroix said. She held her breath while her husband went forward.

"Dunbar," Mr. Summers said, and Mrs. Dunbar went steadily to the box while one of the women said. "Go on. Janey," and another said, "There she goes."

"We're next." Mrs. Graves said. She watched while Mr. Graves came around from the side of the box, greeted Mr. Summers gravely and selected a slip of paper from the box. By now, all through the crowd there were men holding the small folded papers in their large hand. turning them over and over nervously Mrs. Dunbar and her two sons stood together, Mrs. Dunbar holding the slip of paper.

"Harburt.... Hutchinson."

"Get up there, Bill," Mrs. Hutchinson said. and the people near her laughed.

"Jones."

"They do say," Mr. Adams said to Old Man Warner, who stood next to him, "that over in the north village they're talking of giving up the lottery."

Old Man Warner snorted. "Pack of crazy fools," he said. "Listening to the young folks, nothing's good enough for them. Next thing you know, they'll be wanting to go back to living in caves, nobody work any more, live hat way for a while. Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.' First thing you know, we'd all be eating stewed chickweed and acorns. There's always been a lottery," he added petulantly. "Bad enough to see young Joe Summers up there joking with everybody."

"Some places have already quit lotteries." Mrs. Adams said.

"Nothing but trouble in that," Old Man Warner said stoutly. "Pack of young fools."

"Martin." And Bobby Martin watched his father go forward. "Overdyke.... Percy."

"I wish they'd hurry," Mrs. Dunbar said to her older son. "I wish they'd hurry."

"They're almost through," her son said.

"You get ready to run tell Dad," Mrs. Dunbar said.

Mr. Summers called his own name and then stepped forward precisely and selected a slip from the box. Then he called, "Warner."

"Seventy-seventh year I been in the lottery," Old Man Warner said as he went through the crowd. "Seventy-seventh time."

"Watson" The tall boy came awkwardly through the crowd. Someone said, "Don't be nervous, Jack," and Mr. Summers said, "Take your time, son."

"Zanini."

After that, there was a long pause, a breathless pause, until Mr. Summers. holding his slip of paper in the air, said, "All right, fellows." For a minute, no one moved, and then all the slips of paper were opened. Suddenly, all the women began to speak at once, saving. "Who is it?," "Who's got it?," "Is it the Dunbars?," "Is it the Watsons?" Then the voices began to say, "It's Hutchinson. It's Bill," "Bill Hutchinson's got it."

"Go tell your father," Mrs. Dunbar said to her older son.

People began to look around to see the Hutchinsons. Bill Hutchinson was standing quiet, staring down at the paper in his hand. Suddenly. Tessie Hutchinson shouted to Mr. Summers. "You didn't give him time enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn't fair!"

"Be a good sport, Tessie." Mrs. Delacroix called, and Mrs. Graves said, "All of us took the same chance."

"Shut up, Tessie," Bill Hutchinson said.

"Well, everyone," Mr. Summers said, "that was done pretty fast, and now we've got to be hurrying a little more to get done in time." He consulted his next list. "Bill," he said, "you draw for the Hutchinson family. You got any other households in the Hutchinsons?"

"There's Don and Eva," Mrs. Hutchinson yelled. "Make them take their chance!"

"Daughters draw with their husbands' families, Tessie," Mr. Summers said gently. "You know that as well as anyone else."

"It wasn't fair," Tessie said.

"I guess not, Joe." Bill Hutchinson said regretfully. "My daughter draws with her husband's family; that's only fair. And I've got no other family except the kids."

"Then, as far as drawing for families is concerned, it's you," Mr. Summers said in explanation, "and as far as drawing for households is concerned, that's you, too. Right?"

"Right," Bill Hutchinson said.

"How many kids, Bill?" Mr. Summers asked formally.

"Three," Bill Hutchinson said.

"There's Bill, Jr., and Nancy, and little Dave. And Tessie and me."

"All right, then," Mr. Summers said. "Harry, you got their tickets back?"

Mr. Graves nodded and held up the slips of paper. "Put them in the box, then," Mr. Summers directed. "Take Bill's and put it in."

"I think we ought to start over," Mrs. Hutchinson said, as quietly as she could. "I tell you it wasn't fair. You didn't give him time enough to choose. Everybody saw that."

Mr. Graves had selected the five slips and put them in the box. and he dropped all the papers but those onto the ground. where the breeze caught them and lifted them off.

"Listen, everybody," Mrs. Hutchinson was saying to the people around her.

"Ready, Bill?" Mr. Summers asked. and Bill Hutchinson, with one quick glance around at his wife and children. nodded.

"Remember," Mr. Summers said. "take the slips and keep them folded until each person has taken one. Harry, you help little Dave." Mr. Graves took the hand of the little boy, who came willingly with him up to the box. "Take a paper out of the box, Davy." Mr. Summers said. Davy put his hand into the box and laughed. "Take just one paper." Mr. Summers said. "Harry, you hold it for him." Mr. Graves took the child's hand and removed the folded paper from the tight fist and held it while little Dave stood next to him and looked up at him wonderingly.

"Nancy next," Mr. Summers said. Nancy was twelve, and her school friends breathed heavily as she went forward switching her skirt, and took a slip daintily from the box "Bill, Jr.," Mr. Summers said, and Billy, his face red and his feet overlarge, near knocked the box over as he got a paper out. "Tessie," Mr. Summers said. She hesitated for a minute, looking around defiantly. and then set her lips and went up to the box. She snatched a paper out and held it behind her.

"Bill," Mr. Summers said, and Bill Hutchinson reached into the box and felt around, bringing his hand out at last with the slip of paper in it.

The crowd was quiet. A girl whispered, "I hope it's not Nancy," and the sound of the whisper reached the edges of the crowd.

"It's not the way it used to be." Old Man Warner said clearly. "People ain't the way they used to be."

"All right," Mr. Summers said. "Open the papers. Harry, you open little Dave's."

Mr. Graves opened the slip of paper and there was a general sigh through the crowd as he held it up and everyone could see that it was blank. Nancy and Bill. Jr.. opened theirs at the same time. and both beamed and laughed. turning around to the crowd and holding their slips of paper above their heads.

"Tessie," Mr. Summers said. There was a pause, and then Mr. Summers looked at Bill Hutchinson, and Bill unfolded his paper and showed it. It was blank.

"It's Tessie," Mr. Summers said, and his voice was hushed. "Show us her paper. Bill."

Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up, and there was a stir in the crowd.

"All right, folks." Mr. Summers said. "Let's finish quickly."

Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready; there were stones on the ground with the blowing scraps of paper that had come out of the box Delacroix selected a stone so large she had to pick it up with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. "Come on," she said. "Hurry up."

Mr. Dunbar had small stones in both hands, and she said. gasping for breath. "I can't run at all. You'll have to go ahead and I'll catch up with you."

The children had stones already. And someone gave little Davy Hutchinson few pebbles.

Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. "It isn't fair," she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head. Old Man Warner was saying, "Come on, come on, everyone." Steve Adams was in the front of the crowd of villagers, with Mrs. Graves beside him.

"It isn't fair, it isn't right," Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were upon her.

Nothing, really.

Omg. Malasnya nak update blog. And I totally have no idea what to ramble on this time around. So, I'll be talking randomly today. ;)

1) Bio-Oil

When I first heard about this product, I was very skeptical about its effectiveness. I've been using many many products before this, and believe me, the results had failed to bring me the satisfaction I wanted. So, in the last few days, I noticed this bottle on my table. For fun, I applied some onto my skin. And I keep doing that until today, just to kill the time, like seriously. And around this afternoon, I noticed the scar I've gotten from my cat last few weeks begins to sort like...fading! And I only use it for three days only! Definitely wanna make it a routine after this! ;)

2) Marc by Marc Jacobs

Fell in love at the first sight. What a beauty. And I bet this costs a fortune. Sigh. Can I have this as my early birthday present? ;)

Hurmmm..I don't remember seeing any Marc Jacobs boutique in Malaysia. Or am I just too ignorant?

3) Gambang Water Park

My brother told me that my mother told him that we will be going there either this week or next week. And I don't think we're going to JB after all. Too bad. I've been day-dreaming doing some endless shopping there. Never mind. Soaking wet in water and riding all those fabulous rides definitely sound adventurously fun to me! Weee~

I think that's all for now. Happy Tuesday! =D

P/S: I can't believe semester break is just about to end! ;(

Blackforest cake!

2010-12-15T22:30:00.000+08:00

My sis baked an early birthday cake for my mom. Her birthday is on 18th December actually, but we decided to celebrate it early since one of my sisters will not be around on that particular day. Plus, my cousins were present today too. Sooooo..this called for a celebration! Hehe~

Seriously, it was scrumptious!

Gone within an hour ;)

P/S: Tumblr is fun!!!!!

Tumblr

2010-12-13T13:21:00.001+08:00

I made myself a tumblr. Out of boredom.
And of course, the mere curiosity to learn more about this thing.
So, I wish myself good luck. ;)

P/S: Do tell me if you have a tumblr too.

In-bay automatic wash.

2010-12-08T12:14:00.002+08:00

This entry was meant to be published yesterday. But I was busily tweeting and such, so be it.

Today's outing was fun! I've been going out a lot lately due to boredom and such but this one I think one of the best. Nasib baik tak kena bebel asyik tak lekat kat rumah. Hehe. Our original plan was to lepak and devour some delicious treats, and no beach in the plan at all, mind you! And that's why both Anis and I were dressed to kill (hyperbole giler! ;p), not dressed for jumping here and there, tangkap2 ketam. In the end, those dresses did what they were meant to do, killing us. Lol! :P

Anyway, the sudden trip to the beach was fun even though we could see the clouds were undoubtedly heavy. Lucky us, the clouds did not choose the hour we spent there to drop their loads. Definitely seeing a next trip to Pantai Kemasik. This time around, with appropriate attitre - tshirt, track bottom, and flip-flops! ;)

see the clouds at the back?

pretty heavy, huh?

P/S: I don't want to wash my car using that the in-bay automatic wash ever again. The idea of being in the car while its being washed at the same time in that machine is terrifying!

Sugar rush!

I never imagine myself saying this,

but I must admit being a temporary housekeeper is kinda fun actually.

Haha! I must be outta my mind, huh?

Anyway, my mom's going back home tomorrow! Wee~

Harap2 ade ole-ole yang best. Macam new bag ke. Hihi! :p

Randomness

2010-11-22T21:17:00.002+08:00

10 random thoughts for today

#1. I'd like to thank Mark Zuckerberg for making Facebook a reality because without Facebook, I'd have no life. Pfff. Pathetic. Oh btw, The Social Network made an interesting watch. It was fun to know how Facebook was built and stuff. Go watch it yourself.

#2. I have no money. And I hate being penniless!

#3. Going to watch HP for the second time. With whom, I've no idea.

#4. I've made a deal with AJ. He's going to treat me if majority said I'm normal-sized and vice versa. Please rate me based on this scale; super thin, thin, normal, overweight, obese. So, what do you say?

#5. I don't want to make or gain enemy. So, please. If I happened to delete your comments more than once, it clearly conveys that I'm not interested in whatever you're saying and I don't want you to read my blog. Understood? And I'm referring only to this particular person. No one else.

#6. I wish I can go backpacking. Sounds cool, isn't it? Like my mum gonna let me do it. To let me drive by myself without supervision pun is like asking for a RM10,000 check. I think after I get married, only then my mom will realise I'm a grown up already. But no biggie deal. I love her no matter what ;)

#7. Currently, my youngest brother is hiding from his eldest brother in my room. So, who wanna play hide-and-seek with me?

#8. Where can I get some croissants?

#9. Err?

#10. Goodnight, people. That's all for today ;)

Cupcakes!

2010-11-20T12:32:00.001+08:00

So, my sister had decided to take order to bake cupcakes for her friend's sister wedding ceremony today. We had to make 50 small-sized cupcakes with red and white as the theme colours. I was doubtful at first because we haven't bake for business purposes before. Ever. It was fun but kinda nerve-wrecking as well because we had to be super duper careful with the decorations and stuff. So, here they are;

Not bad huh, for first-timers? And they tasted delicious too! My mom, who's the most famous food critic in the whole wide world (hahah! :p) also stunned for their deliciousness.

a little treat after a long day of hard work ;)

sedaaaaaaaapp!

P/S: What's next?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1

2010-11-18T16:05:00.005+08:00

Despite numerous good reviews I've been reading for the past few days, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 is somewhat a disappointment to me. I guess I've been expecting a solid perfection since this is the finale and everything, and from the beginning, I've been wanting the last movie to be really really good. But, that did not meet my expectation, eh? That's okay. I hope the second part is better! ;)

The first installment of HP 7 is really good in which it realizes exactly how the story is portrayed in the book (with minor changes here and there, but that's cool because they're needed to shorten the storyline). To be compared with the previous Harry Potter's movies in term of their accuracy, I think HP 7 is the best so far. Since the movie is exactly like the book, the duration of the first part of HP 7 takes 2 hours and 27 minutes already. Thus, when the movie is that long, it tends to be a bit draggy. That's what I felt anyway.

What made me disappointed is the lack of misery in that movie! If you read the book, you'll know that the wizarding world is in a grave danger, with Voldermort and his supporters come to power, killing people who are against them and everything, I had imagined the movie somehow to be literally dark. Gloomy. Full of misery. That's how I imagined the situation to be. Unfortunately, the movie turns out to be the other way round. It's too cheery, I must say! I dunno, you have to watch the movie first and evaluate it yourself. My friend liked it. I, not so la. But it's great nevertheless. If and only if they put much more killings in there, then I think, the movie would suit what I had imagined perfectly.

Can't wait for the second installment!

For those who haven't watch HP 7, happy watching! =)

P/S: Croissant! <3

Dear you,

2010-11-15T15:15:00.001+08:00

To this particular person it may concern, who I think might sneak another chance or more to read this blog of mine (not that I'm suggesting my blog makes a popular reading), I know who you're, the one who left snide remarks in my chat box (which I had just deleted, not to suggest that I'm a coward, but to prevent further flow of negative vibes here. The comments also, were such an eyesore for me to look at, so apology in advance.)

If your purpose, leaving those, unnecessary I might say, comments in the chat box for the purpose of re-igniting long gone hatred once resided in me, I'm pleased to inform you that, your crude, childish method won't work anymore. And yes, your disguise didn't work as well. The comments clearly portrayed who you are. To cut it short, I am perfectly aware who you are. If you think, I'm gonna do what you had asked me to do, you are sadly mislead. I don't engage myself in non-beneficial activities anymore. So, if you please, I'd like to have my peace here, in my very own blog.

So intruder, you're not welcome here.

Goodbye.

P/S: You'll gain nothing by hating.

Went to Forever 21 today, and I found this gorgeous silken striped tunic.

It was love at the first sight. Heheh.

And like always, there would always be an indecisive battle with my inner self, buy or not to buy.

You know how expensive a Forever 21 top can be here, in Malaysia. Actually, everything is expensive here. Tak suka! :( (I'm trying to curb my bad shopping habit here, not wanting to spend excessively anymore, which is next to impossible, I think)

It's only $19.80 but when you convert it and add in the tax and whatsoever, there you go, RM99.

So, I'm still deciding, is it worth for me to buy this?

How I wish I can go to US now and buy this top without having to be guilt-ridden afterwards!

CHIC SUEDETTE PUMPS

is thinking of buying this one also,

but still undecided.

KNOT SUEDETTE ANKLE BOOT

like to try this one ;)

P/S: Bile Forever 21 nak ade kt kemaman?? Hihih.

Ignorant us

2010-11-08T19:02:00.004+08:00

Are rules made to be broken? Honestly, I don't understand Malaysians at all.We put up signs here and there, as a REMINDER for not doing that particular action, and yet that is exactly what most of us like to do. Typical Malaysians. Huh.

"Jangan buang sampah di sini." Yet there are piles and piles of rubbish surrounding the sign. Ironic.

See?

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Grr!

"The middle coach is for ladies only for the whole time (KTM)" Yet male passengers keep boarding as if the signs are there for display purposes only. Again, ironic.

Typical attitude of Malaysians!

And not only that, it bugs me too why Malaysians are such a lazy bum. She buys a nicely wrapped sandwich. She sits at the bench. She opens the wrapping. She eats the sandwich. She's done with her meal. She looks down at the wrapping paper. She looks up, spotting a dustbin. She gets up, leaving the wrapping paper all alone on the bench. The end. Come on lah, you're not gonna die pun if you spend a little bit of your time and energy to throw your rubbish into the appropriate place e.g. dustbin! Grrr~ Cakap nak jadi negara maju, but then with this kind of attitude, I'd doubt we will be one sooner.

For godsake, why are we being too ignorant?

P.S: Emo dengan rakyat Malaysia! T___T
P.S.S: Lemme tell you this, when I mentioned 'emo dgn rakyat Malaysia' , what I meant was that I don't like the kind of attitude some of us wear, like I mentioned in my post above, e.g. littering around, do not follow the rules, etc. So, I'm emo-ing with Malaysians because of their attitude, not bcoz they're Malaysians. Please read thoroughly and try to understand the message I'm trying to convey. Thank you :)

3rd semester ends.

2010-11-05T13:22:00.002+08:00

Hari ni best bawak kereta kat Shah Alam sebab jalan kosong! Boleh jadi gangster jalanan jap! Hahaha! :p
*mati la kalu ma dengan aboh tau.erkh. ;D*
Anyway...I finished my exam last Wednesday! Weeee~
Like finally, huh?

This semester had been, well, quite fascinating. Err..nope. MOSTLY fascinating!
Drama class, the dreaded Kesatria (one of the uniform bodies among thousands in UiTM, if you're wondering), third language (mine, Korean language, very difficult, mind you! But that's ok, it was hell a lot of fun learning it!)

All in all, I quite like my 3rd semester in TESL.
The reason for the 'quite' there because I think I down-performed this semester. :( I was not as committed as I did during last semester. I hope my results will not be badly affected by my playfulness. Hihi. But on the bright side, at least this semester I finally outgrown my habit of doing work at the eleventh hour. So yeah, I AM proud of myself! :p

Pegi tengok tennis time nih.

Tickets were sponsored by...uh, I dunno! :p

For the greater good

2010-10-28T17:39:00.005+08:00

Yesterday, I spent half of the day re-reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (again!) for the umpteenth times. Sorry phonetics & phonology, you don't make a yummy reading like the former but no hard feelings eh. I still love you no matter what;)

***SPOILER***

So anyway, it amazes me no matter how many times I've re-read the book, my heart still ached for the lost of Mad-Eye Moody, cried when Fred died and insanely sad with the death of Lupin and Tonks when they just had a baby!! Poor Teddy :( What I'm trying to say here is, a good book should never fail to touch your heart no matter how many times you have read it. Re-reading each and every series of Harry Potter is like reading the books for the very first time. Refreshing, really.

I can't wait to watch the first installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! :)

P/S: Phonetics and Phonology, anyone??

A big thank to BookXcess,

하지만, 한국말이 어려워요. T______T

Nevermind, I'll study harder!

Anyway, 저는 지금 'The Amazing Race' 봐요.

P/S: Learning Korean is tortuously fun! Gaaaa~

Random update

2010-10-21T21:47:00.001+08:00

Oh yeay! Ma bagi balik rumah! Yabbedabedduuuuuuu! :)
I feel quite ecstatic today regardless the fact that I did quite badly for my Korean speaking test. But at least, I didn't get to repeat. That's quite a relieve actually. Phewh!

And now with the weekend approaching, my day is just getting better and better.
I'm going out with him and will definitely pay a visit to BookXcess! Yeayyyyy! Haven't been there for ages!
How I miss the delicious smell of books. And being surrounded by shelves and shelves of books...
Oh, it does make me feel contented. :)
A sense of belonging, really.
Gaaa~
Can't wait to spend the rest of my time, reading!
Till then, toodles!

Oh, oh, oh! Before that..
Remember about me telling you about waiting for the drama video so that I can post it up here? I just found out in like a couple of hours ago that the technician assigned to record our drama accidentally recorded our voices only. WTH?! So, no video after all :(
That is soooooo damn frustrating!

P/S: Counting days! ^_^

Grr~

2010-10-20T23:05:00.000+08:00

Let's just say I'm not a fan of friend for benefits.
So, if you think you fall in that category,
could you please stay away from me?
Thanks!

P/S: They just ruin my perfect day. Thanks for nothing, mates.

Dramatic life

2010-10-20T21:27:00.003+08:00

Many many things happened lately. Joyous and depressing, alternately.
I'd rather have my life to be completely problems-free, but that would defeat the goal of life, isn't it?
And I bet it would be hellishly boring. What a life. Sigh.

I don't like conflicts, and will never do.

What I want right now is...a mellow life! Nothing too outstanding nor a dull one.

So, anyway..I 'd done with my drama last Friday night. What a relieve!

And I couldn't believe that we got soooooo many positive responses with only two freaking weeks of rehearsal!

That's more than good luck, I'd say.

Phewh!

Prop-making!

The creative directors! ;)

Mixing some paint I see?

;)

Spot the queerness?

LOL!

Weee~

I wish I had taken pictures during the night of our drama staging,

and now I've got nothing to show you.

Let's just wait for the video, shall well?

Drama had been fun while it lasted.

But I wish for no more of it.

It's frigging tiring!

So I guess, that's the end of my 'dramatic' life! Heheh..

But we'll never know what'll happen in the future, eh?

P/S: Somebody take me to Bookxcess, please??????

....

2010-10-18T19:43:00.002+08:00

Insignificant me :(

P.S: What goes around comes around..I'll wait for that.

P.S.S: I just don't feel like blogging right now. But there are so many things I'd like to share here. My feelings. My problems. My everything.

P.S.S.S: Can't wait to get done with this 3rd semester! I doubt I'll score this sem, but let's hope for the best! ;)

Home!

2010-10-06T00:21:00.000+08:00

Home is the best place to be right now. Seriously.

With all these nonsense in my head,

I just wanna go home!

I wanna go home!

I've said it for 40 times already,

so can I go home now?

P/S: Life is pretty tiresome at the moment.

People and their attitude

2010-10-02T17:36:00.000+08:00

Just a 'gentle' reminder to these particular person that I think I begin to despise.
Yeah, I know. Tak baik benci orang. Allah tak suka. But I'm just another imperfect human :(

1. If you feel that I'm such a nuisance to you, fine. Don't work with me the next time. A perfectionist like me expects a perfect work. Got it?

2. Start doing YOUR WORK early, not at the eleventh hour. Now, see what happen? When I ask for your part, you still haven't email it to me. And you still haven't reply my message. I wonder...did you get my message or were you trying to act like I didn't send any? Hurmmmmmmm...

3. This is the last I'm ever going to work with you. No more YOU next sem.

Cukup la tuh. Tak guna marah2 kat orang macam ni. Useless!

You see, I'm not perfect myself. But, at least I'm committed to the work assigned especially when working in group. Or at least, I thought so. I dunno if people perceive me the other way round. Cheers~

P/S: I thought you were different but I guess my judgement was wrong. Now I know the real you.

They're gone!

2010-09-19T00:46:00.002+08:00

I believe someone out there had successfully slipped some growth hormone into my meals. I have a strong feeling about this! *sniff, sniff* Yes, no doubt about it. It's all over me. The air is polluted with it. Dang! If not, how come I grow up so fast? My physical depicts a growing girl and supposedly to be 20 years old at the moment, but my mind, undoubtedly is still within a child range. I think like a child, I act like a child, I play like a child. How could I be an adult if I don't act like one? And I refuse to be disengaged from my parents, from my family, unlike any other so called adults to be, which I'm not!

Sigh.

A girl who refuses to admit that she's growing up and is no more a mere child.

Sigh.

It seems that only yesterday I was a 6 year old girl. Happily playing around, hanging and swinging myself at any tree that I managed to climb or fighting over whom get to ride the bicycle or main masak-masak with my friends, cousins and siblings, which was my favourite! .Hahah~ I miss those carefree moments. No problems or pile of assignment to worry about. Everyday was absolutely a new beginning for everything. It gave me the thrill, wondering about what I would be doing each coming day. So yeah, I guess I'm kinda missing my adventurous childhood. But that was back then.

And now. Being ~~an adult~~ a young adult feels different. Sure, it does have its perks; privileges that a child could only dream for, which I was so eager to have back then. Yela, who in the right mind doesn't want to have the freedom to go anywhere with no more strictly supervision from parents, or to drive the car on his/her own. It's insane for a person to do not want those things! But now, I wish upon the thousand stars in the sky for time to unwind so that I could chase away everything that I dislike about adulthood; responsibility, endless learning, heap of workload, etc.

Sigh!

Lemme get this straight.

All the things I rambled up there,

is resulted from my premature homesickness syndrome.

Yeah, premature. Like seriously.
Because you haven't seen the real one. =P

Ahhhhh...I don't want to go back to Shah Alam!

Please, don't say it's racism...because it's not!

2010-09-14T20:22:00.004+08:00

I think it's not fair to say that the murder of Dato' Sosilawati can somehow provoke the racism issue. No matter how cruel the murder seems to be, with the victims were killed and burnt before their ashes were spread into different rivers, please think that they were murdered not because they are MALAY but solely because there was a huge lump sum of money involved. Please think before you speak. Think thoroughly. Think rationally. Do not try provoke each and every one of us and point out one minor issue, because really, there is nothing significant to provoke to begin with!

Be rational and think deeply because I don't want because of this sensational issue, our unity among different races in Malaysia is being jeopardized. Do we want the bloody tragedy in the year 1969 that almost lost us our unity, our peacefulness among races, to happen ever again? Do we want to become foe and fight with the ones that we call them as best friends? To kill each other despite everything that we used to share before?

I've no doubt that all Malaysians are shocked and no less, angered with such a gruesome killing of the four of them. I admit, it was such a heartless and inhumane action a person could do to another person. However, do not take this as an opportunity to blame it to the other race; that this particular race is this and that, that this race is aiming to cause problems and worse come to worse, to kill only that other race because THAT IS NOT THE MAIN ISSUE HERE! Like I mentioned before, those people killed them because of money, not because all four of them are Malay. I hope you see this crystal clear like me, because so far, I could not see any relevant motive that made the killers wanted to pay vengeance to all of them because they are Malay, aside from the money alone. I know, I know you might want to mention that before this, many people from this race were killed by the other race. But, are you sure they were killed solely because they are from that race? Were they not killed because of other reasons? Think about that.

I know it's way too early to come out with any concrete explanation for this gore happening, with the police still searching for evidence and the DNA test results are not out yet, so I cannot say anything as freely as I like. But as a Malaysian who truly treasures her priceless friendship with her friends despite the differences in skin colours, I don't want because of the killing of Dato' Sosilawati, her driver, the CIMB officer and the lawyer, my friendship as well as the others are jeopardized. The unity among races is being put at risk for no reason. The outcome will not be beautiful. Oh, I don't ever want to think what will happen!

Anyway, I wrote this solely based on my opinion. No hard feeling eh ;)

P/S: I'm scared for the future.

Beautiful Boxer

2010-08-29T19:13:00.002+08:00

Beautiful boxer is simply...beautiful!
What a wonderful adaptation of a true story.
Never watch anything so beautiful, so sincere, so heartbreaking like this one.
Simply put, the movie is marvellous!

He fights like a man so he can become a woman

I admire his courageous act of putting and wearing make up in public, which I'll never ever consider to think about doing it let alone to actually do it, if I were to be in the same shoes as he is.
Despite of endless taunting, he survived.

He is the man for his family
and thus, he kickboxes for them.

He is the woman for himself
because he sincerely feels that he's a woman trapped inside a man's body.

Tragic. A sorrowful fate. A heart-wrenching movie.

P/S: Don't judge a book by its cover.

2010-08-28T01:15:00.001+08:00

Sorry ma, sorry abah for burdening both of you.

I promise I'll study hard and make you proud of me.

Sometimes,

I just wish that you would say No whenever I ask for something,

but the two of you wouldn't.

Not even babbling here and there.

No scolding, no 'interrogation', no nothing.

You give me everything that I want, everything that I ask for,

even when it means that you'll have to sacrifice.

I can only guess that's what parents do,

because apparently I'm no parent myself.

P/S: Wanna change for the better.

Dislike this!

2010-08-27T00:50:00.000+08:00

For the umpteenth time, I can't use my Sony phone! For what reason, I've totally have no idea. Ah, don't wanna care anymore. This time around, no more sending my phone to be repaired. Wasting every single penny of my money! Harap-harap ma baik hati bagi beli handphone sony yang murah like K770i ke..heheh ;D

P/S: Going back home in exactly 6 days from now! Yipppeeee~!

Halfway to madness

2010-08-21T12:51:00.003+08:00

One thing you should know and must remember about me.

When working in group, I don't like doing the assigned work at the eleventh hour.

Wondering why?

The reasons are pretty obvious actually.

First, the quality of that work sucks!

Second, call me a nerd or whatever you like, but I hate getting low marks for my work.

Third, you tend to copy paste whenever you do last minute work.

I'm sorry if I happened to get angry here and there,

but I'm deadly serious when I say that I don't like doing my work when everything is supposed to be done already. So yeah, in a way, I'm a nerd. But that's ok. I'm fine with it as long as it's gonna secure my gpa and cgpa. Those are important! ^_^

P/S: My mom always reminds me that, work only with people who can and will do their work. And of course, I'm gonna listen to her.

Hmmmmmmm....

2010-08-19T23:42:00.001+08:00

You wanna know something?

You're being hypocritical right now.

You're acting like you're going to change for the better, but you're not.

You always say that you want to change, but it's hard for me to believe in you.

I'm tired listening to your rambling. They are all rubbish!

Because before this, you always mentioned this and that,

you grumbled about your life and how a bad student you are,

and when you got scolded or something,

then only then you would realised that you have to change.

You said you would try to change,

to be someone better.

And I believed in you.

Until you broke your oath, and be that same person I begin to despise again and again.

And now you tell me, once again for heaven sake, you're going to change.

This time around, for real.

You know what?

I don't believe it.

Why?

Nothing is ever going to change if you yourself are reluctant devote to that kind of commitment.

Yes, changing needs commitment.

And I don't see that in you,

because you take things for granted.

So, please reflect.

Don't talk here and there, but got nothing to show and be proud of in the end.

It's useless.

Change first, then only people will believe in you.

P/S: Lets see if you're really gonna change this time around.

My lecturer said based on a research, people who have cats as their pets, are lonely.
Of course, I'm gonna disagree with that kind of statement!
Cats are not for lonely people only, they are for us who like cute cute things oso. Lol! XD

How come we don't say good good things often enough?
How come we remember bitter memories better than we cherish sweet sweet memories?
How come we do not learn from our past mistakes?
How come we be sincere and yet hypocritical at the same time?
How come we forgive but do not forget?
How come?

Our souls were one, if you must know
and never shall they be apart;
With splendid dawn, your face aglow
I reach for you and find my heart.

P/S: How come we do not forget soon enough?

After all this time

There's nothing more that I would wish to do than to forget how hurtful it feels to get hurt. For countless times. Over the same reason. I'm getting tired of it.

Have you ever really loved someone so bad until it hurts?
and later on you found out that you can't really do anything about that.
Because your heart aches for that kind of love.
The kind that likes to induce pain instead of happiness. Instead of other happy happy things.
And you've got no choice, but to follow with the flow. Because that's what you do the best.
Sometimes, when the pain becomes so unbearable,
you're forced out of choice to succumb to the pain.
Because you've finally realised that,
after all of this time,
you have got no energy left.
Everything is being drained out of you.
You've used yourself up to the limit.
And it feels like you've been stripped naked and left unattended in the end.
Broken. Wounded. Alone.

P/S: The world seems bigger than ever to me now.

I'm at home now! Yipppppppeeeeee! :D
But then, havta pack soon and kick myself out from this house in like another two hours or so. :'(
And I know I haven't been updating much lately bcoz I've got nothing to say much
or maybe I can blame this writer's block of mine. Hahah!

So my dad finally give me the permission to bring the car to Shah Alam.
But I guess I havta wait first. See what happens.
Till then,
toodles!

P/S: I don't wanna go backkkkkkk! :(

A Walk To Remember...

2010-07-12T19:40:00.002+08:00

Tajuk takde kaitan dengan entry ye. Heheh.

Ok, maybe I don't particularly like people who like to whine here and there, but for this time around, forgive me for doing that exact thing, because I'm desperately wanna go home!

My hometown my be the most boring hometown ever, like any other typical small district, but I like it the way it is. I draw comfort from the very simplest thing the town could offer, like the morning breeze that left you shivering in the end, but never fails to make you feel good about it. Or when you have this massive headache, not because of thinking what a hectic life you need to endure now that you're living in one, big city but purely because you've got no other places to go to hang out with your friends except for these three compulsory places; yellow town, the beaches and mesra mall. I find this amusingly comforting. It feels beautiful (yes, it is) and easy to lead life to its simplest. And yeah, I miss those kind of things. In case, if you're wandering ;D

So, I've been thinking of going back home the end of this month. I can't go back this week because it's too early, need to make my family miss me enough first (hahahaah! :p) and plus Jet and Amin are coming over! I'm sooooo excited!!!! See this big smile of mineeeee :D

And I can't go back the week after as well, because I have this module that I must attend to, which sucks. But
on the positive note, this is the last time I need to make myself available for it! So, yeay for me, though I know it's a bit early. Hehehee :P

So yeah, I'm definitely going back home this 29th July! :D

P/S: Just finished reading A Walk To Remember in one go and I cried countless times. Typical me. Huh. :P

Shopaholic Abroad

STATUS : Sold

For sale only for RM15!

And yes, this is for real.

I bought this novel a week ago.

Easier said, it's one brand new book.

Reason for selling : I'm not into chick flick anymore.

I think I've outgrown my interest in this kind of genre.

Anyway, let me know if you want to have this for yourself,

or you know someone who needs this book so badly but can't afford to buy one.

This is a real bargain!

Thanks! ;)

P/S: Drop me a comment if you're interested! ;)

Watching from afar

I'd like to bid goodbye to my precious ones;

goodbye coach,
goodbye guess,
goodbye CK,
goodbye D&G,
goodbye prada,
goodbye gucci,
goodbye chanel,
goodbye DKNY,
goodbye juicy couture,
goodbye MJ,
goodbye fossil,

goodbye everybody!

Until I'm financially stable,
I guess it's goodbye forever...(so not gonna happen! :P)
Lol! XD

You can't deny it...

Some inspirational lyrics from Hanson's songs. Ahhhh..another reason to love Hanson more! ;)

In this life long love song
You can love right, you can love wrong
In this love song you can love long
But if you love wrong, doesn't mean love's gone.
(Love Song - This Time Around)

Say - don't be too proud
I'm holding my hand out
You've been my friend on darker days
See, I'll still be there
Despite your despair
And I don't really care what you say
hey hey hey
I'll carry you there
I will carry you there
(Carry you there - Stand Up Stand Up)

Can't figure it out how you've made it this far
If you don't me sayin',
there's no sense in waiting
Shout it out, shout it out
Shout it out, shout it out
You can't deny it, you can't deny it
(Waiting for this - Shout it out)

Seems like love has always found a way
But there's only so many hours in a day
All I know is that you're here with me
And it's alright, yea it's alright
Won't you tell me that you need me so bad
'Cause you are everything I've never had
Every time I look at you it hurts so bad
And it's alright, yea it's alright
(Get Up and Go - Underneath)

There are more but..for this time around, I'll let you find them out for yourselves
Really, these three most awesome brothers are great but so underrated.
Don't ever compare them to the jonas brothers. Benci and tak suka!
Anyway, susahnya nak cari album Shout It Out kat sini. T___T
*sobsob*

P/S: Homesick already! ;(

Err...
