Last post for this year

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

1.Limit weighing myself to once a week.
Current rate is twice a day.

2.Stop squeezing out spots!
Leaves blemishes on my face and I'll have to use concealer.Bummer.

3.Stop reading crap fashion magazines
They're all written by old people, at least 30 years old, cynically manipulating my tender emotions (by giving the idea that if you don't like this celeb or that celeb, you're not beautiful and then I turn to the next page, it says that we should all be happy with who we are coz we're all gorgeous. CRAP, I tell you). Plus, I don't need to know the latest trends (I can always window shop) or have people telling me what's cool and what's not , and I certainly don't give a damn who's expecting a baby or who's breaking off, who got drunk and end up in jail. MORE crap.

4.Study hard
I made this resolution every year and then did not stick to it. *Sigh*

Estranged!

Wanted to capture the pelamin and the lights at the same time w/out getting up from my seat, but then...my stupid phone camera can't zoom! My mum said this is an ugly pic. Offended that she criticized my work, even though it IS ugly.
The Estranged dude is wearing black...
...and he has longish hair and keeps his head down most of the time.

Went to a cousin's wedding today. Well, I'll save the boring details about the wedding and just write about the important highlights...

ESTRANGED PERFORMED AT THE WEDDING!!!

At first, only my second cousin Aidil and the Estranged guitarist (who happens to be another cousin of mine) performed. It's a self-composed song, "Best I Ever Had" (not the Vertical Horizon song ok!), dedicated to the bride and groom. It's a beautiful song.

Then Estranged came up onstage and I was so shocked I didn't even had the strength to move up front and take pics of them!!! Argghhh!! I just sat there in my sit miserably watching them performed.

Those crappy pics are the only thing I've got, thanks to the lousy Cybershot camera. From now on, I'll make sure I bring my Nikon everywhere with me, especially at weddings!!! Coz you'll never know who'll show up and what's gonna happen!

Day out wif friends!

Lunch at Pizza Hut, Tesco Ampang. Then off to Jusco, window shopping for clothes. Nothing interesting so came home with a pink document holder(duh!) and a bag of mandarin oranges.

Btw, watched this documentary on how they build KLCC. Apparently the engineers have towork at 3am!! No way I'm gonna become a civil engineer! I need my beauty sleep!

I wonder...

Do I have the words "Seniors' Lab Report" tattooed on my forehead??

Tattoo

I'm so in love with Jordin Sparks' song, Tattoo!

Monday, December 24, 2007


This morning, I weighed myself and I'm 48.4kg :)
I lost 1kg,thanks to a diet of sushi and light dinner.
Got zits on my face, hate it, hate it, hate it.

The thought of going to class tomorrow makes me feel sad and depressed. Even though I'll be in Uniten for 2 days these week. I wonder, if I can't hang on for two days there, how am I going to survive a whole week?? Or another 2 years??

PS I Love You

My bf agreed to watch the PS I Love You movie with me. Well, the main reason he's up for it is because one of James Blunt's songs is on the soundtrack, not because of the movie itself. But who cares right? It's hard to get your bf to watch a romantic flick with you. I still can't believe he's willing :)
Btw, got the cleansing milk back from my mum :D. Gave her the lip gloss instead. Heehee.

Obsession: Bags





I shouldn't have browsed through the Dorothy Perkins website. Now I want them all.

I love Clinique!

Clinique lollypops taken with macro shot.


Went to KLCC. I'm obssessed with my skin and makeup now.

Shopping spree at Clinique. Bought an eye concealer, lippie (shade: peach blossom) and Turnaround 15'' Facial (finally!), plus free handbag, free lip gloss,free sunblock and free cleansing milk.

The Clinique lady also gave me a "prescription" on how my skin care regime is supposed to be. Guess what?? IT HAS 7 STEPS!!

1.Remove makeup
2.Cleanse
3.15'' facial
4.Toner
5.Serum
6.Moisturize
7.Sunblock first thing in the morning.

There...the steps on How to Have Great Skin. I think if you do this every night, you're skin will look as smooth as a mannequin's. No way I'll cope with this with my busy schedule. But I might change my mind though. Who knows, if suddenly I feel like I want a new skin w/out plastic surgery, I might go through all the trouble and start the 3-step skincare system.

After blewing my 1 month allowance at Clinique, planned to check out if there's a sale at Nine West, but then felt guilty about spending too much. After all, I already got a Clinique bag. Everywhere is on sale. Christmas. I wanted to buy the entire mall! And Goddd, I hate people who walks at snail pace at the crowded ground floor!

I made the mistake by offering my mum the Clinique cleansing milk. She took it. And then just when I was about to give it to her, I noticed the instruction : Apply to face, then cleanse with water or tissue off. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A TISSUE-OFF CLEANSER!! Sometimes I'm so busy and tired that removing makeup at night is an ordeal. But what to do? I can't be buruk siku, taking back the things that I've given away. But I'll make a mental note to myself, if ever I'm looking for a makeup remover, BUY CLINIQUE'S CLEANSING MILK!!!

Check out those orange-flavoured Clinique Happy lollypops. Adoreable. I feel like keeping them forever as decoration and not eating them.

Hmm...between Clinique and Benefit, I prefer Clinique. Benefit's products are awesome, with cute packaging, but even though Clinique's packaging are a bit dull, but at least you can get lots of free stuffs and samples from them. One rule of satisfying shopping spree at Clinique: don't just buy one item, try to get the free gifts.

Learnt a couple of useful beauty tips today.

1)The lady at Himalaya said that dandruff shampoo is to be used as a treatment, when needed. Don't use it all the time coz your scalp with get used to it, and when you stop, the dandruff will come back. Which is why when I bought the protein shampoo, she gave me a small bottle of dandruff shampoo to be used when needed. I also got a free but hideous toiletries bag. But who cares? We all love free stuffs.

2)Pink-based concealer doesn't conceal your dark circles that well, instead, makes your eyes look puffier. TRUE. Own experience.

3)Wearing powder with SPF isn't enough, you still need to wear a sunblock!

Got 3 RM10 shopping vouchers at I Setan. Gave it to my dad, he deserves it more and he rarely shopped (I'm being very generous today. Clinique Cleansing Milk to mum, and shopping vouchers to dad). I thought my dad would decline my offer, but instead he took it gratefully and headed straight to the ISetan men's section. And surprisingly, he bought whatever I think is nice! So weird, he never agreed on MY choice,he's always picky. But today, he went for everything that I picked. I picked modern, trendy, up-to-date collared t-shirts, instead of boring, old polo shirts. Or maybe my taste in men's fashion has improved ever since I got a boyfriend?

The Alvin & the Chipmunks DVD I bought in JB? Well, it's in Cantonese :(

Saturday, December 22, 2007

-the gloomy Senai Airport-

-the Kinder Bueno cat...cute!-
Went back to JB.
On the way to KLIA, tried the new KLP highway. No difference, still took us plus minus 40minutes to get there, just that there's no jam.
At the airport, went to the chocolate shop and spotted this cute cat soft toy that comes with a packet of Kinder Bueno Schoko-Bons, so I bought it. I love collecting soft toys.Hee hee.
After a 30 minutes flight, arrived in wet and windy JB. Even though I've just shampooed my hair the other day, it's oily and flat. I dunno what is it with the air in JB, but everytime I go there, my hair is oilier than fried chicken.
One more thing I don't like about going back to JB is the food there. Ohmygod, there's briyani, laksa, soto, nasi tomato, lontong, ketupat, sambal kacang...The weather doesn't helps either, it's rainy and I feel hungry all the time. But when I was binging on the briyani, I found a dead fly. Gross. That instantly killed my appetite.
On Friday, went to City Square. The cab driver complained about how there are many cabs in JB but not many people wanna ride them. He said the govenment should do something about this, like do a research on taxi demand or something. I agree, coz in KL lots of people depend on taxis but they're always unavailable. Taxi drivers here can be so picky, especially during peak hours.
Anyway, bought some DVDs, 2 necklaces (which I don't know WHEN I'll be wearing them, I only wear 1/4 of my wardrobe), hairclips, ZA eyeshadow, and the Cecelia Ahern novel(finally!). Hmm about the novel, it's the same as Marian Keyes' Anybody Out There, about a woman coping with the death of her husband. But frankly I think Anybody Out There is miles better than P.S.I Love You. In Anybody Out There, I can't get through a chapter without bawling my eyes out. Haha.
City Square was crowded that day, I could barely walk.
Was bored to death in JB. My dad sleeps 24-7, and my mom was always busy chatting with my grandmother or her maid. Either that or she's yakking on her mobile phone. She has her mobile phone permanently glued to her ear. At home, I'm starting to get irritated whenever the phone rings.
On Friday evening, went to my late maternal grandmother's house. My diabetic uncle has swollen toe. Diabetic sucks. You can't afford to get wounded, or get blisters on your feet, coz it's hard to heal. Or maybe it won't heal at all. I dunno. You can't eat rice, can't eat almost everything. Prevention is better than cure! It's better that we control our diet at early age than suffer when we're old.
Anyway, my uncle isn't on a strict diet. He still eats tarts and all. He even force fed me some sort of cake with red beans filling (I hate red beans). Didn't eat it, asked my mum what it was. She said "Kuih Jepun from Muar." Whatever that is.
I'm as fat as a baby whale right now. Got a date tomorrow. Tried on my lovely Dorothy Perkins LBD, I can't button it on at the stomach! And one button even popped out! God, I'm so depressed. I HAVE to lose weight. Thankfully my favourite brown dress still fits me, but as I'm putting it on, I heard a rip at the seams. =( I WANNA BE THIN!!
Seriously I think my family should go back to JB less. The more we go there, the more boring it gets. If we only go back once in a while, then I'd be looking forward to it.
Ooh one more highlight! On the flight back to KL...
the stewardess gave me a bag of postcards and junk food, which are meant for kids!!
I wonder, do I look like a 7-year-old??
But I just stared at those goodies blankly and said "Thank you." If she gives me a colouring book and crayons, I'd be speechless.
By the way, I think the pic of the aiport looks like a scene from a horror movie.Hahaa. And I've just realized that my "excellent" Cybershot phone can't zoom! The Walkman phone is miles better.

My first fluid lab

Today is my first fluid mechanics lab. Made some new friends. Most of them thought I failed the class, so I had to repeat it. I've lost count of how many times I've said , "No no no, I haven't taken this subject. Which is why I'm taking it this sem." Duh! I'm totally cool with it I guess. I have to admit, at first glance, I do look like a bimbo. So I don't blame them for thinking that I'm repeating the subject.

Monday, December 17, 2007

Monday blues...

Depressed, lonely coz I'm alone at home. But I'm enjoying Islamic class though.
Hee this is sooo much fun, more holidays coming up in the coming weeks! This week, I'm having another break again starting from Thursday til next Tuesday! And the following week, from Friday til Tuesday! Awesome.
I just can't wait to graduate. Another 2 years! Grrr...
Anyway, was reading this magazine the other day and came across this article that gives the best ever advice I've ever heard for long-lasting relationship.
Don't heat up old sins for supper, exercise selective amnesia.
But well, it's kind of hard to me to fake amnesia sometimes, especially when I'm hormonally unstable, I just HAVE to bring up old sins. =(

Me..then and now

Ten Years Ago I was:
The year was 1997, age 10. Standard four at SK Tmn Maluri. School prefect. My best friend was Yasmin. I was an extrovert. Whenever teachers asked question, my hand was always the first to shoot up and answer. It was always me, no one else. The teacher was like "Asyik dia ni je,takde orang lain ke nak jawab??" But still no one volunteered to answer, so I continued to raise hand every single day. At the beginning of the year, I was sort of cute.Clear,fair skin with soft silky-straight hair. And then by the end of the year, I became darker and my hair was getting coarser and all my cuteness just dissappeared.
5 years ago I was :
I was 15 years old, year 2002. Best friend was Lynn. I became DARKER, chubbier and I got zits on my face. I was into rock music and rock bands and the rock chick look. My idol was Avril Lavigne. I wore combats, wallet chains and I love anything to do with the skater-punk look. I listened to her album over and over again and thought that her songwriting is the best thing ever, and why couldn't I come up with such brilliant songs like that? My best friend was against these whole Avril-wannabe thingy. "Insaflah,Li," she said. I didn't listen to her. That year I was sitting for PMR and was so stressed that I got lots of pimples on my skin. They were not pimples, more like white-coloured pustules. Gross! Thanks to the skin specialist at Ampang Puteri, my skin were cured and now became fairer and clearer. Everyone was amazed. That year also, I wanted so badly to become a gymnast. Whenever there's gymnastics during gym class, I was excited. But gymnasts start at young age, and I was already 15 so my body is as stiff as a piece of wood.
1 year ago I was:
Age 19, at university.I've lost some of the baby fat, my skin condition got better too. Hair doesn't improve much, as I got highlights and perm and then my hair was ruined. Taste in clothes improved too. Dorky glasses replaced with contacts.Started my first semester in civil engineering. Took CE materials, drafting & autocad, malay language and environmental engineering. I had one close friend that time and we switched from electrical to civil engineering together. We only had 1 lab together (sieve analysis for aggregates, I remember) and then she left. We didn't even make concrete mix together. So much for friends forever. It was shitty time for me, having to get through a new course alone, with new people. But I'm glad I had my bf with me that time.
Yesterday I was:
20 years old, second year. I got a layered haircut with a bad fringe. Worrying about whether or not people wanna be in the same lab group with me. Been together with my bf for about 1 1/2 year now. I live with a neurotic cat named Koko, she is such a monster. I'm a bit bloated, and is obsessed with drinking 8 glasses of water per day.

Why oh why

Why is it that everyone look great wearing red lipstick while I look so skanky??

Siamese cat up for sale!

Female. Age 10 months. Brown-white fur, blue eyes. Brown tail, paws and face. Trianglular face. Skinny and long body. Extremely mischievous. She will scratch and ruin all your furnitures and will break all the glasses and porcelain at your house,especially the nice, expensive, hard-to-find ones with sentimental values. Not a big eater, favourite food is Science Plan. Be extra careful when she's around as she will pounce on you out of nowhere, scratch you, bite you, pull your hair and hit you at any chance she can get. One of her hobbies are climbing up high places and then expect you to rescue her and help her come back down. In summary, she's a waste of money and time,and a nuisance. Price starts from RM800, can be negotiated. Any takers?

Happy Birthday Yasser!

Today is my bf's bday and we celebrated at Sunway Pyramid. Had a great time.

I love you Yasser!

By the way, now I can blog from my phone. Apparently, Blogger Mobile is built into some Sony Ericsson cameraphones (and luckily my phone happens to have Blogger Mobile too) so I can merge my mobile blog with this blog. Cool!

Why do other ppl have great hair except me?

It's impossible to diet when I'm home coz my mum always keep a stock of potato chips, cakes, munchkins and other junk food around the house.

i'm fat

ok i think i'll stop writing this countdown thingy...it's kinda stupid. i mean, if i'm so looking forward to the mid term break, i'll still have to go through tests and quizzes and all da hardship.
frankly i think the features of cybershot cameras are so overrated. it's not that great anyway. makes u look yellow and even the slightest shake of the hand can cause in an extremely blurred image.one more thing, i really need to lose some weight. took some pics with my nikon just now and i looked like a baloon. why do cameras hate me these days??

Countdown to mid term break: 63 days

great things that happened to me today:
1. The m.o.m lecturer changed the Friday class to Thursday.
2.I managed to join section 1 for project management.
3.Which means I have no class on Friday.
4.Which means I have long weekend.
5.I got an e-mail from the Islamic lecturer, saying that there'll be no night classes at the mosque until further notice.
6.No CE subjects offered for Islamic extra classes.
7.I got a new housemate and she seems nice.

Countdown to mid term break: 65 Days

From now on, if I'm going to post a new blog, I will put the countdown to midterm break as the title. At least I have something to look forward to this semester.

First day of class

Today marks the beginning of my second semester, year 2.
Tried updating this blog last night but Internet connection was very poor. Arrived in Uniten last night and I've met one of my housemates and she seems quite nice.
Anyway I'm glad I didn't sell of my old phone coz it has such a good camera and walkman. This new phone, the camera is kinda crappy. I've always hated Cybershot cameras, since my schooldays. We took a class photo using Cybershot camera and I thought I look OK but when I saw the pic, I look dreadful.
Anyway, about my first day...it's awful. First thing in the morning, I heard the sound of a lizard. Uh-oh, not good. Afraid that it'll be lurking somewhere in my room.
Then went to my first class, which is a lab. No lab.
Fine. Added project management and Islamic I and then went to my second class. Full of first year students and I was Betty-No-Mates, sitting at the back alone, feeling pathetic.
I can't wait till weekend.
I WANNA GO HOME!

Sunday, December 2, 2007

I didn't even celebrate with my bf our results =(

New phone fever!! All I did today was sms people. Hmm...this new phone, even though its camera is quite terrible, but the radio is great! Better than my old phone's. So aside from texting people, what I did today was lay on my bed miserably, listening to depressing songs on the radio.

New phone n first visit to Pavillion

Today is a bright sunny day--my favourite day. Just like the weather in California (I've never been there but I'm sure this is how it's like over there, bright and sunny and happy). But I'm not so happy after all coz there's clouds of gloom hanging over my head...I'll be going back to Uniten in 2 days!! =( Wish I could freeze time like what Eric Cartman did in Southpark when he wanted the Nintendo Wii so badly but couldn't wait 2 weeks for it. Well, I just can't stand waiting and studying for another 2 1/2 years to get my degree.
3 weeks is not enough for a holiday. I borrowed some textbooks for next sem,hoping that I could read them during this holiday and prepare ahead, but guess what? I didn't even TOUCH them.
Anyway, gloominess aside, I'm quite happy today coz I got my new phone!! It's a Sony Ericsson cybershot phone. Not the latest one, but the older version, the camera is 2mp only and it makes me look horrible. I prefer my old phone's camera.
And today, I finally went to Pavillion! Like the Gardens, it's full of branded stores. LOTS of brands, you just name it, it's there. But unlike the Gardens, there's a crowd there. Probably coz Pavillion has 'normal' stores like Watsons and newstands n KFC n Nandos. At the Gardens, the restaurants are classy Thai and Japanese restaurants you've never heard of. One more thing, Pavillion has a huge foodcourt, the Food Republic. Lots of variety of food, but mostly Asian--Korean,Japanese,Vietnamese etc. I've lost count of sushi restaurants there. And I think there's more than one Korean restaurants too. Ate at this restaurant called Pastamania! where I ordered arrabiata, spicy blend of chillies and tomatoes. But at Pastamania! it's superspicy! They used cili padi and there were chilli seeds in the gravy. Duh!

Thursday, November 29, 2007


Went to Mid Valley with my frenz today. Took half an hour to find a parking space. Watched Enchanted. Nice story, girlie fairy tale stuffs and lots of singing,like a musical. After the movie, window shopped at Mid Valley and the Gardens. Nothing much, things at the Gardens are too pricey. So jealous of my frenz. Aween had just finished her diploma and Yana will start new semester next year, while I have to start attending classes next week!
Btw, used to think that a 2.0 megapixel phone camera is good enough, but now I realize that it is not. These photos are kinda blur. Want a new phone! With a camera of at least 3 megapixel ;)

A few things that happened over my boring weekend

1.Went back to JB for the gazillionth time.
2.Had a sudden craving for Smarties. Searched for it at all the chocolate shops at the airport(all Smarties were sold in bulk...no way I'm gonna buy them n gain some more weight), at petrol stations, at the Johore ferry pick up point(yup,I went THAT far)...and NO Smarties. Finally, I found them at the supermarket at City Square on Sunday.
3.I'm fat now.
4.I've just realized that at the foodcourt at Kota Raya in JB, no one drinks mineral water. The limau ais there is GREEN in colour.
5.I'm addicted to Lecka Lecka's mango italian gelato. Thank God it's 99.99% fat free (according to the advert la!)
6.I've been having nightmares about getting ill, exam results, not being able to attend class next semester. Why eh?
7.My zits have dried up a bit! Yey!
8.All I ever did this holiday is stuff my face, sleep, watch tv,read books and waste my money.

Disaster!

I've got zits on my face now. Great. Used tea tree oil, and some pimples (or acne's more like it) are on my chin, so applied some tea tree oil there. Baaad move. Tea tree dries up pimples AND skin as well, so now my lips are dry...again! It's not just dry, but it's blue black in colour too. Hideous. Final exam blues is to be blamed for all these disasters. Exams will finish in 2 days, and I just can't wait! Right now I have no time to fix my lip colour...let it be!!!

raya = open houses = gaining weight

due to final exams, i didn't go to all the open houses. but i still put on weight coz the nice people who invited my family packed sum food n asked ma folks to give them to me!how can i decline?? those foods are DELICIOUS.

Friday, October 26, 2007

Finals!

Gosh...finals coming up in just a couple of days! So not prepared! *Sigh*
Anyways, there's this new condominium lot near my house known as Seri Hening. It's GORGEOUS and about 5mins to KLCC and I told my parents how cool it would be if I can live there. My mum told me to come up with some money if I wanna move out of our house and live there.

It's not wisdom tooth!!

Turned out that I don't have wisdom tooth problem from the beginning! This toothache is because of a cavity!Went to the dentist today and luckily he didn't extract my tooth. I got a filling but it was HORRIBLE. The dentist
gave me two injection (yes!2 jabs coz my there's a BIG hole in my tooth) and the left side of my mouth felt really
numb. I can't talk, I can't eat. It's a nightmare. Not just that, my jaw felt tired and painful after having to
open my mouth for,like,ages. The chemicals used as filling taste real bad too! I almost puke.I have to take antibiotic. TWO antibiotics! He also gave me "A VERY STRONG PAINKILLER" (as written on the
medicine package). So now I have to take medication for my teeth AND for my lips. Bummer. Being sick really SUCKS.
This semester I'm sick most of the time. Fever (twice!), lips problems, toothache and lots of other prob.The doctor explained how this cavity happened. My cavity is at the last tooth at the back there(top row)...What is it called?Molar? Apparently, the teeth at the back is the area people often missed out when brushing their teeth,
so that's why it's easy to get cavity there. It's the most terrible feeling to have the left side of your face numb. I guess this is how people with stroke
feels. Gosh, I really must take care of my cholestrol level.

Wisdom tooth

This wisdom tooth problem is getting worse. My head feels like there's a heavy metal band rehearsing inside it.

Selamat hari Raya!

3rd day of raya...happened to be the birthday of my cousin's son a.k.a my nephew, Fariz (there's 2 Fariz in the family, the other one is my cousin. This one in the pic is Fariz Jr. Hehehe). He turned 6 I think. Haha I dunno. All I did was take pictures. The little girl wearing pink is my cousin Elisya. Aren't they cute?? The other kids, I had no idea who they are. My aunt gathered them around to make the party look more "happening." Hehe.

Tuesday, October 9, 2007

Countdown: 3 days till hari raya puasa.
Today is my last day of class before the break. .Even though it's only Raya holiday, and there'll still be classes after the break, I feel a bit down coz it already feels like the end of the semester. This semester has been a blast, even though a bit stressful, but it's great.And every year, I HAVE to go back to JB and 'celebrate.' . To me, it's cool to be all excited about raya if you're eight. If you're me, raya is all about studying for finals. Hehe.

Home sweet home

Went to KLCC yesterday...at last! Miss that place so much. Shopped at Dorothy Perkins, rewarding myself for my test result =p (tq PTPTN! For leaving some cash for pocket money!). Managed to beg Mum to buy a me this top as a present too!Haha. Lurrrve that shop. I can always find something I want in there. I've already picked 2 bags and 2 tops and yet I still want more. There's these bags (green, white, silver...all sorts of designs. I'm spoilt for choice). And when I've ran out of cash, I spotted this awesome black knit top. Arghh!! I just dunno HOW to quit shopping.
Lucky me, I went home and found that my mum has bought a large roll of tracing paper! For baking I think. But she said I can use them for practicing the stereonet! Yeay!
Koko is trying to act like a human now, like one of us. My mum will be putting up new curtains and she'll be climbing the window grill too as if to help. She's becoming quite useful too lately, killing bugs and cochroaches and lizards. Oh, and she drinks from mug too, not bowl.

Thursday, October 4, 2007

Got back my DE test 2

Surprised that my mark is pretty good, even though I really did mess it up. A mystery to me on how I can get that kind of result (but v v grateful though). Look at my paper and I answered like a drunk person (e.g. my working is correct, but I gave a different answer...forgetting to write the general solution, which is a really really stupid mistake). I also write this way a lot: Yp=u1.f1(x)+u2.f2(x) Yup, too many lines canceling my work.

Tuesday, October 2, 2007

I'm feeling so miserable right now. There's my lips problem, my teeth hurt, I have a test tomorrow that I have ZERO confidence to sit for and I drafted my timetable again and found out that there's NO WAY I could escape classes on Monday. As I'm studying for tomorrow's test (I got almost all questions wrong), I think...another 2 1/2 years of THIS???

Saturday, September 29, 2007

How sad...

There's a new mall opening in KL, Pavillion. But I can't go check it out because:-

1)I have a bruised lips and there's no way I'm going out looking like that
2)I'm stuck at home studying dynamics
3)Friends are busy and Mum doesn't want to accompany me there because she's obsessed with baking now and refuses to leave the house.
4)Lots of things going on (grandmother coming over etc etc).
5)Lots of things happening at college(subject registration, talks etc etc)

Seems like my mum's new passion is baking now, ever since we started our little raya cookies project. I made two types of cookies and I stopped, I'm not addicted to baking or anything, but Mum just couldn't stop. She keeps making new cookies every day. That's all she does. Bake, bake, bake. Every weekend I break fast eating food from the stall, coz she rarely cooks anymore. But that's OK though. I love food from stalls, restaurants...

Depressed

I look like a nightmare now. I’ve got light skin and dark lips. Makes me feel more depressed than ever. But when I look at Koko I feel happy and relieved. Coz her ENTIRE FACE is dark, not just her lips.

Friday, September 28, 2007

Visit to the doctor

The doctor didn't say much. Gave me loads of medicine though. 2 types of pills (to be taken for 2 weeks...argghh), oral aid and oral gel. She also reminds me to use lots of Vaseline.

P/S: This computer is so slow, it's working on my last nerve.

My current obsession...

My lovely bf bought me a Rubik’s cube and i’m addicted to it! He also introduced me to South Park and now it’s like I’m obsessed with the show or something. Hahaha.
I’m going to visit the skin specialist tomorrow. I know it's silly but I feel kinda nervous about it. What if my condition is no ordinary dry lips problem? What if it's something serious?? Urghh, I have to stop thinking about the what-ifs, else I'll stay awake all night.
Will update about my visit to the doc tomorrow. Hope everything's fine!

Thursday, September 27, 2007

Disaster!

I'm sooo dehydrated that my lips cracked. I tried peeling them off but it only make it worse. Now it turned into a ghastly shade of black, like bruise or something. It's really painful, esp when I eat and when I apply my favourite lip balm at night before going to bed(it used to feel soothing and comfortable), it feels kind of stinging. I'm going to make an appointment with the skin specialist this Saturday (the same doctor helped me clear off my zits when I was a teen).

Wednesday, September 26, 2007

Status: Nana is homesick, Mood: Angry

Daytime...I’m too hungry to study. Night time...I’m too sleepy. This always happen during the fasting month.
God,I hate life now. Every weekend, there's always something preventing me from going home. Either a visit somewhere, a test or a stupid talk.

Monday, September 24, 2007

Why can't I study??

I wonder what's up with me these days. It's like the mid term break had done something to my brain. Before this I was so enthusiastic to score full marks in tests (yes, I was THAT ambitious) and now I'm as lazy as a cow. I'm starting to miss class. Today, I went to dynamics class only. Geology canceled and I canceled DE too. Hehehe. Only went to survey class in the evening. I slept for,like,5 hours.
But it's good though. Nobody commented that I look tired,like last week. In fact, people asked me whether I'm fasting or not. Haha. I was THAT energetic. Those beauty tips about sleep and drinking lots of water is true after all. (Not that I drink lots of water today, I'm fasting!)
Anyway, now I'm installing some programs into my cool-looking-but-boring laptop, with the help of my brilliant IT housemates. I'm IT illiterate and installing programs and setting up a printer is like rocket science to me.

Saturday, September 22, 2007

My second batch of cookies!


Today, I made "Crunchy Flakes Biscuit" (recipe book's name, of course). But I'm going to call it Coquina. Or conglomerate. Or limonite. Whatever. Geology isn't my thing, anyway. =p
After I'm done with the baking, there's some leftover dough on my fingers. Koko licked them off. She just lurrrve anything buttery and cookies.

My first batch of cookies!

Haven't put the sugar coating yet. And the lighting in the kitchen's very bad!
-CLOSE UP-


Today in history! I made my first batch of cookies. That's right! The cookie monster finally BAKE her own cookies. Hehehe.I made it myself! I’ve made cookies before, but I didn’t really MADE them, if you know what I mean. I was just helping my aunt/grandma.
This year, mum decided to bake our own Raya cookies instead of buying them.
And me, frustrated with DE(haha...I’m exaggerating) decided to help her made the cookies. Who cares about engineering anyway? It’s time to act like a real lady and be more domesticated. Hahaha.
The cookies I made are called Rainbow Crystal Ball cookies (according to the recipe book) but actually the less glamourous name is biskut suji. Hahaha. One of my favourite cookies. Colourful with sugar coating. Yup, not reccomended for diabetics. Hehehe. I made them in pink, green and white. Green and pink are my fav colours.

Friday, September 21, 2007

Why am I so unlucky?

DE test was a disaster. Full stop.
The tough questions...well, nothing much I can do about it. The simple ones, I think I made careless mistakes.
And I had another dynamics pop quiz this morning. Unprepared of course. =( The lecturer nearly gave the answer to me, and yet I still got it wrong. Gosh, how dumb can I be?
Rube goldberg machine project still not done. Rube goldberg machine--a machine that performs simple, everyday tasks in a complex way. My definition--machine for lazy people.

Wednesday, September 19, 2007

Urghhh

OK,having a new laptop is great. What's not great is that I'm using the new Windows Vista while most people(my group members) are using XP. They can't open the files I sent through e-mails. So I had to redo the work again (I don't know how to "Save As" using Vista..how bad is that??) and saved in the compatibility mode whatsoever and send again. Huh...
And then...just when I was about to send...I had Internet problems. Started cursing at MSN and yahoo. Why am I so unlucky these days?? Is this the karma of the universe punishing me for not coming to geology lab last week, 2 DE lectures, dynamic class and all tutorials??

Hmm...

I have DE test 2 this Friday. Even though I have tests coming up, what's bothering me is the pile of projects waiting to be done. (>_<)

Gewwwd news

Got a new laptop. Dell inspiron 1420. With pink cover and microsatin finish. Dunno what's so special about that. Once the package arrived at my house (ordered through Internet), I opened it and it's only pink behind the screen. Other parts are glittery silver.
Spend the day transferring all my files from the old laptop to the new one. Too hungry to study DE. Missing someone =(
Btw, Koko's condition is getting worse. She's so horny and she doesn't want to eat. At all. Now she has shrunken face and bulging eyes. She DOES look like a sphinx now.

Friday, September 14, 2007

Happy fasting month everyone!

2nd day of Ramadhan...2nd fasting month with him. Hehehe.
Went home,at last. I had to be firm this time. If not, then I'll be spending today at the ICE talk and tomorrow visiting sites in Subang and Sepang =(
Today is the first time I saw a sphinx cat. At Pet's Wonderland. Expensive. So I can shave off Koko's fur and sell her off as a sphinx for RM10 000 right?? With that money, I can shop, shop, shop.
Just when I thought I could really relax, there's another DE test coming up this Friday. Time to start being a maths geek again!!
Btw, there's this cat that's been following me around apartment. Named her Casper, after the cute ghost. She's white, and has a really beautiful face.

More misadventures of Nana

Yesterday, I took the trouble of going to the computer lab to type my geology project while waiting for DE class. Saved it in the pen drive, and in the evening I went to the printing shop near Upten and then lucky me, my pen drive got virus. I reformatted it and all data is lost, including my geology report! Damnnn....
My surveying groupmate sent the result through e-mail and I can't open the attached file, but other people in the group can.
Worst of all, I got a toothache now. And it's killing me!!!
Today, got back my dynamics test 1. Got 14/20. If it's not for one careless,calculation mistake (just like what I did for DE), I would have got 15. Huhu. After giving back the test, the lecturer gave us a quiz! I got the free body diagram wrong to begin with.
Sports mid term today, the lecturer said anatomy, kinesiology and a bunch of other topics will be coming out but instead there were only 2 questions just now, asking the processes of planning a recreation trip and the reasons why I chose this subject as my elective.

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

I miss home

I just can't wait to go home this Friday. I've been stuck here in Uniten for almost 2 weeks. Life really sucks here. Lotsa things going on, I don't really have time to relax. Got tons of projects, reports, assignments,tests...Even if there aren't any tests, I'd be worrying there might be a test or quiz. I hate living like this.

Genting trip


My 2nd time...first trip when I was a baby, so I can't remember much.


Meeting point at Hentian Kajang. Then off to Genting. Passed by my house. Feels homesick =(


Roads to Genting very steep and narrow. Gives me a headache.


At the skyway station, there's this animal exhibition or something. Saw this cute little kangaroo jumping around. Funny that my first encounter with a kangaroo is in Genting,not in Australia. Hahaha. When held, the kangaroo made this complaining sound, like Koko does when she doesn't like people holding her. I reallyyy wanna go home and see that little monster.


Cable car ride--my second time too. First time was in Zurich. I wish they'll build a cable car from Ilmu to COE to BA and COIT. Hehe.


McD lunch. As expected, things there are twice the price than in KL.


Took pics, then went bowling. I haven't been bowling for a looong time. It's really fun when I tried it just now (the package inclusive of one free bowling game). But I'm not as good as before. Last time, in a single game, I can strike many times. Just now I strike once only =( Wani's reallyyy good, btw.


After bowling, Wani and I went for a karaoke session. The place wasn't that great. The karaoke box in Mines is miles better.


After karaoke, we went to the outdoor theme park. We had been on only one ride (The Flying Jumbo...ok, childish I know) and then thought of going on the Cyclone rollercoaster but it rained heavily. Then tried Pirate's Ride..Really dumb, not scary at all, but we had no choice as it was raining and that's the only ride available. Then Wani,Aie,Hafiz and me went indoor and decided to watch a 4D movie (I didn't know that there is such thing as 4D). Thought it'd be a cool movie. Wrong! We queued for quite a long time, just to watch a silly documentation about dinosaurs. I got a little dizzy from watching it, and it's kind of blur too. Can't believed I've paid RM8 to get dinosaurs blowing their breath into my face and then screaming at me. Plus, I had to wear this rediculous looking glasses.


After that, went outdoor again. Rain had stopped but there's a thick fog. Went on the spinning tea cup. Haha. Kiddies ride again. How adventurous.


At 6.30pm, went back to Uniten. Took a taxi from Hentian Kajang. The cab driver charged us RM15 (long story...). And then arriving in Uniten, I said there's two stops. Me in Ilmu, and Wani in Murni. He charged us RM3 extra. Fine, whatever. After Wani got off at her stop, he began asking me a bunch of questions and I was so tired and wasn't in the mood to talk,especially to strangers. So what I said was pretty much the same 'Yes' 'No' 'Maybe.' What is it with taxi drivers these days??
Arrived at my apartment, with a huge pile of laundry waiting for me.

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

I'm sick again!!!

That's right. Having fever again.
It all started yesterday morning, I woke up and feel like there's sand in my throat. And during surveying, I began sneezing. And last night...fever!!!
Didn't go to any classes today. Luckily,there's only one class today--dynamics. Sports in the evening was canceled, but there's some discussion regarding the genting trip this Saturday. But I did attend the dynamics group meeting coz I am(unfortunately) the leader of the group.
Goshhh I really have to get well before the trip!! And on Sunday I have this netball thingy to attend.
Went to the clinic. Got lots of medicine to take. I'm feeling sleepy all the time.

Sunday, September 2, 2007

End of hols! =(

I can't believe today is the last day of the mid sem break! Huwaa... 1 week break is way too short. I need one month break! (During the 3month break in April this year,I said I need 3 years).Whatever. It seems like just yesterday I was sick in bed with my cousins all around, and now I have to go back to class. And that Merdeka night marathon? Feels like it's HOURS ago.

The (Mis)Adventures of Nana

On Tuesday morning (I mean, REALLY early in the morning),my dad woke me up. That's the day--off to
JB, my beloved kampung. Not only I was getting ready in a rush, my dad couldn't send me and my mum
to KL sentral coz he's in a hurry to go to work. Nevermind, called a cab. No cab could come--it was
peak hour, people rushing to go to work, plus it was RAINING. So Dad sent us instead. He drove to the Raja Chulan monorail station, and accompanied us till we arrive at KL Sentral. I
really wish I could spend my hols sleeping til afternoon(I have morning classes everyday in Uniten).
Instead, there I was, walking around town early in the morning, carrying my grandma's heavy bags.
This isn't my idea of fun.Arrived in JB. Lots of relatives. Noisy. Brought along my sports notes but CAN'T STUDY at all. Two
days wasted, just like that. I can't be hanging around at my grandma's place with nothing to do
while back home I got reports to do and I need to figure out that Surfer8 thingy too.The only great thing that happened was that on the second and last day, which was YESTERDAY, I went
to City Square with my mum. Bought some really cool stuffs, which includes this awesome
shirtdress,flip flops,the Body Shop Peppermint Cooling Foot Rescue Treatment and a fake Anya
Hindmarch bag. Had Caesar salad for lunch with my aunt at Coffee Bean. Aunt said that Coffee Bean
makes the best Caesar salad, I kind of agree with her.Finally, in the evening, went to airport. Flight at 8.50pm. Arrived in KLIA and that's when the REAL
adventure started. There was a looong queue for taxi so we decided to take the ERL to KL Sentral.
Upon arriving in Sentral, we discovered that the taxi service wasn't available. Tough luck. Took the
Putra to Jelatek instead. What a nightmare. The station is PACKED with people wanting to celebrate
Merdeka (can't they just stay at home???). In the train, ended up sitting next to these noisy mak
ciks...Arrrgh...headache2.Arrived at Jelatek station, we knew that there's no way we can take the shuttle bus, it's already
LATE. So walked to the main road, tagging along those heavy bags (my parents carried bags with
wheels, I had to carry the luggage WITHOUT the wheels). Waited for ages, and NO taxi would want to
stop and take us home. There's no other option--we walked.Yes!We walked! For,like,10kms??Or more I think.All the way from Jelatek,to Jln Ampang and
home.Really test my rectus femoris and tibialis and soleus and whatever muscle it is that we use to
walk (practically all the leg muscles,I assume) and I carried two bags on my shoulders. My shoulders
were KILLING me.I was wearing a 3-inch heels and luckily the flip flops I bought earlier saved the
day. Halfway home Dad asked if we wanted to stay at a taxi stand while he walked home alone and get
the car and fetch us. I was kinda pissed off already, and said no way, we'd walk, we've come a long
way already. So we walk, and walk and walk and it seemed like FOREVER till we finally got home. I had to thank Uniten for my good endurance level, coz during my foundation orientation week we had
to walk a lot(like from coit to our apartment) and when classes started, I got used to all the
walking (I walk to coe, BA, BD, KMC,I walk practically EVERYWHERE except to coit of course).I walked really fast, and was sweating like MAD but I didn't feel tired at all UNTIL I got home. My
parents were waaay behind me, like 10m away, but I don't care, I wanna get home FAST. It's kinda
scary though, walking alone, especially with guys on motorcycles hooting at me and stuffs. They
probably thought I'm a problemed teenager who had run away from home.Whatever it is, I'm happy and grateful that now me & my parents are home safely. And now I'm
thinking negative stuffs and what-ifs. What if some drunk driver drive off the road and hit us? What
if we stepped on a snake while walking through some brushes? Scaryyy right? We arrived home at
12.30am!P/S: I really did the right thing buying that Body Shop foot cream, considering what I had gone
through ;)

Glooomy day...

Grey skies,dark clouds,atmosphere of GLOOM hanging over me coz tomorrow I'm going to JB! A routine that has been going on ALL MY LIFE. I really really wish that I can go through at least ONE YEAR without going back to JB,or at least spent ONE RAYA in KL. But I know that's not possible as long as ma beloved granny is still alive. All this fuss about going to JB is allright if I'm 12 or 13 years old but at my age now, it's just no longer convenient. I only have ONE WEEK holiday(with 3 days already wasted coz i got flu)and minus the trip to JB I have,like,3 days left only!! At this point, I can't afford to go grandma's place and watched tv or laze around on the front porch or things like that. I got reports to do, mid terms to study for etc etc. Anyway, sad stuffs aside, today I went out wif my bf. first we went to the curve and then to sunway pyramid. I wish I can spend every single day like this.

Sunday, August 26, 2007

I forgot to mention this in the last entry...

One more to add to the week's summary...it's mating time for Coco! It's kinda gross, she's always rolling on the floor, like she thinks it's sexy or something, and points her genitals to everyone. Errkk--makes me sick. She's supersensitive even to the slightest touch and can even turn on when people CALL HER NAME. How bad is that?

Saturday, August 25, 2007

A week's summary

It's been a while since I last updated my blog. I've been busy, and had some laptop problems as well.Now I've got it fixed and is good as new =)
This week is the last week before mid term break, and the busiest, most tiring and stressful week!
Had dynamics and geology tests on Monday. Didn't study dynamics at all(was more concerned about geology) and all the three questions that came out was about pulley. Serves me right for not studying.
Geology paper was a disaster too. 3 questions too, about rock cycle, Bowen series and geologic time. I have NO CLUE what to answer.
This week we did contouring for surveying. Takes up the entire 3 hours of the lab session. That's when I started to get tired all the time. Every night I only sleep for 6 hours (average human being need 8hours, I need 10!)
On Thursday evening, I had geology lab test for 4 hours! I've never taken any exam which takes 4 hours to complete! There were around 40++ mineral and rock samples that we had to memorize.
The next day, which is Friday, went to an engineering company in Setapak with my geology group regarding our project.
The next day,which is today, I'm lying sick in bed with a fever and cough =(
Isn't life great?

Uncle's wedding

Planned to wake up at 8am, coz I have to study geology. However,I hit the snooze button many times and woke up at 11am instead.
Also planned on not going to uncle's wedding. Geology is the reason too. But my cousin Jaja managed to pursuade me to go and then I agreed.
Then went home, I said, this time, I'm serious, I wanna study geo. But I ended up talking and taking pics with my cousins. Then Jaja & Lina went to De Palma Hotel, where they're staying and that's WHEN I started studying.
OK, that's it for today. I wanna study geo. FOR REAL.

Friday, August 17, 2007

DE test 1

Dragged myself out of bed, and then off to DE lecture. Learning about boring equations first thing in the morning isn't my idea of fun.
And then, more equations in dynamics class. And even MORE problems during the DE replacement tutorial. Then I have,like,3 hours to study DE and then at 5.30pm....test 1!!!
Hmm..level of difficulty--moderate. But I've made one mistake, after checking wif Wani. That's just ONE question, I dunno about the other three. *Sigh*
After the test, had dinner wif my bf. Wanted to go to place where there's not many people we know, so decided to go to this restaurant in Bangi. Our first time. The food's quite good. I ordered fusilli mushroom (creamy sauce--errrkkk...fattening, but I don't really care now). Just our luck, the waiter there happened to be his classmate. So much for privacy.
Then went to Baskin Robins had my favourite ice cream, rainbow sherbet.
After that, I went home. Full house. Since it's my uncle's wedding today, there's aunts and cousins at home. More to come tomorrow. Huhu. I'm sleeping in my parents bedroom.

What a day

Today I:
i) didn't draw the minor contour lines for the survey test.
ii)realized that my group had made a huuuge mistake in the surveying practical last week.
iii)realized I forgot to print the Autocad diagram I draw for the lab report.
iv)made lotsa other stupid mistakes which I've lost count of.

Came home, stressed and instead of studying DE for the test this Friday, I decided to have a loong, girly chat with my housemates, complaining about life and things like that. Feels great, coz I wasn't in the mood to solve DE tonight, I just need to TALK to someone. They're good listeners, and listened to me babbling nonstop and shared their experiences about how bad life can get. After,like, 4 hours of talking and talking, we finally stopped and I felt relieved a bit, being able to let go. It's been a long time since I've had this kind of chat with a female friend.
I'm so tired now,I wanna go to bed. Toodles!

Got my first quiz back!

Home for the weekend as usual. Nice to see my room just the way it was when I left it. And Koko is still the same little monster she'd always been, biting people's hands and stuffs like that.
Got back my first disastrous dynamic quiz. Sat at the back of the class, so was among the last to receive my paper. Was mortified, wondered how many people had seen my quiz. How embarassing. Thought I would get zero, coz I got the formula wrong to begin with. Suprisingly I got 5/10...but the worst part is I got the answer correct at first, then canceled it off and wrote the wrong answer!

The beginning of a stressful life

I'm starting to get busy now. Have 5 tests coming up! Surveying and DE next week, and dynamics geology the following week, on the same day!!! Geology lab test comes after dynamics & geo.Then there's the geology project, dynamics project, with assignments. Wish I have superpower or something.Tried studying but I can't. Either the subject is too boring or tough.These days I need caffeine to function, a sure fire sign that I'm stressed and tired!!!

Friday, August 3, 2007

It's August already

Things that happened in the month of August:
-Malaysia's national day
-my dad's birthday(he's 48 this year)
-season of Test 1s

Bad day. Dynamics pop quiz first thing in the morning. Really messed it up. I hate pop quizzes. Was sulking like a lil kid, but then I met my bf and cheered up a little bit ;)
Went to Sg.Wang. Bought a 3/4 pants and thighs. Bought a packet of fruits too(the one that goes with a sweet n sour sauce). Then went home and discovered that I had spilled the sauce on the pants coz I put the packet in the same bag!What was I thinking??
I've found a temporary solution for a bad fringe...wear a hat!

What a great weekend


Had so much fun this weekend. Yesterday, date with my bf. Watched The Simpsons movie!! Great movie!And today, went to KLCC with my parents (mission:my dad was looking for a couple of pants).
Mission not accomplished as my dad is not a KLCC person, more of Sg.Wang kind of person. Haha. Things in KLCC aren't his taste(no size, colour not nice, no promoter to attend to him,too expensive...men can be so picky sometimes).In the end, he only bought a powder and cologne at M&S.
As for me, I bought a bag at Dorothy Perkins(yeah,another one to add to my massive collection of bags at home). Looks nice at the store,but once I got home, it looks like a ghastly shade of silver. Huhu. The bag is futuristic-style, but the more I look at it, the more it looks like a freakish thing from outer space.
Bought a couple of t-shirts too. Now I know why I never wear half of the clothes in my closet. Because they don't look good on me. And why is that so?? Because I never try it on when I bought them. Today, I tried a couple of times the t-shirts I bought and I'm really satisfied with them. After this, I vow not to be lazy anymore and TRY CLOTHES BEFORE BUYING THEM!! Or else they'll end up being shipped to Johor as a part of my charity work (aka giving them to my cousins).
Besides that, bought some stationeries too. It's only the third week of class and I nearly finish one testpad. If I were to get through this semester, I need hundreds of them! Hahaha.
One more thing, I cut my fringe. The hairdresser was surprised that my hair grew so fast(she'd just cut my hair during the hols), so she cut my hair extra short. At first, I was like, whatever. Now I look kinda weird, with my supershort fringe! But I don't really care though. Long fringes might look good but I don't feel comfortable.
I prefer short fringe.
I can see clearly now the fringe is goneeee!!! (sing this like the Jimmy Cliff song).

Friday, July 27, 2007

TGIF (Thank God It's Friday)

Only one class today. DE, 8am. Imagine having to wake up really early in the morning and first thing you have to face is maths,maths,maths. Boring maths.
One more thing to add to my wish list...the Angelica toy that comes free with McDonalds Happy Meal! I love Rugrats. (^_^)

Thursday, July 26, 2007

What I'm up to

Another day of looking at rocks & minerals in geology lab.Wanna go shopping so badly. Wish list: new handbag (preferably a metallic large shoulder bag) and new t-shirt.

Wednesday, July 25, 2007

Bored

A boring day. Only one class in the morning (dynamics) and after that geology group meeting, but postponed to Friday.
Had a brunch with Wani, Safiah, Wani's sister and her friends. Wani's sis asked her friends to guess what race am I, and they were debating about it just now. Hahaha. Wani gave a clue though, "Dia ni mix..."
Went to my room, planned to prepare for DE tutorial tomorrow, but then realized I've forgot all about trigonometric integrals and was too lazy to open the Calculus book.
Then decided to call home, to discuss about me going home this weekend. Mum got irritated when I called, coz she's watching her fav Indonesian sinetron (She has retired, and the show got 200++ episodes, so she's definitely not gonna miss them).
Sad at first,cuz I really wanna go home and no one can fetch me(and they won't let me use the public transport...hmmph!!) Luckily Yasser came to the rescue and said he can send me home.Heehee...

Tuesday, July 24, 2007

Finally I'm getting involved in activities...

Joined gamelan (a type of Malay traditional music, using percussions). And people always say...those who can't play anything plays the percussion. Is that true?? I guess so. Always do things halfway, all the music lessons that I've taken before, and swimming lesson too! Until now, I still can't swim. =(
Anyway, about gamelan. First practice was last night. We were taught how to read notes (basic ones) and those with a music background has an advantage. I played this instrument, dunno what it's called but looks like keyboard. Parts of the instruments are numbered with 1,2,3,5,6,i...all the other instruments are like that. After hitting a note, you have to hold the plate so it will not vibrate, or else it will create an echo.
After practicing the tempo and stuffs, we progressed to playing the instruments itself, following the music sheets provided. First try and I was amazed by the beautiful sound that came out. Well, not that beautiful. Sometimes the tempo not perfect, and at first I was a bit slow at reading the notes. Huhu. But still, the music I've heard all my life at weddings and events like that, now I'm playing it myself!
And the guy there told me that like guitar, these instruments has to be tuned, by tightening the screws on it.
Practice supposed to be from 8.30pm-9.30pm but we ended up finishing at 11pm. Hehe. My arms ached soo much from playing it nonstop.

Entering third week of class...

Time goes by so slooow these days. It's only the third week of my second year and I still have to wait another 2 and a half years (3 if including this sem) to graduate.
Now I got a longer internet cable, which means I can surf the Internet in the privacy of my own room! Btw, it's no longer a dungeon (but I will still call it dungeon, cool name!). Just now one of my housemates came inside my room and said it's much much cooler than the other room. Well, just my luck that my room is like a cave, shielded from the glaring sunlight. Seriously, sometimes I wake up really late and it's still dark and I thought it's raining or something. Then I went out and urrghh!! The hot sun shining into the living room.
Today was my first surveying lab. In the same group with Wani, Safiah, Kak Syahadah and Nora. Didn't enjoy it that much. Much prefer geology lab. Coz it's indoor and there's aircond and everything.
Have dynamics tutorial at 6pm. Really not in the mood to go, it's cloudy. Huhu. What a day. I don't enjoy surveying, I'm not looking forward to dynamics and DE class makes me worry. What course should I change to next?? Astronomy??Geography?

Sunday, July 22, 2007

Good news

I'm so happy. Finally got the Internet settings right for my laptop (without anyone's help.Proudness!). Now I can use Internet anytime I want, not just at home, but at my apartment too! And I can update my blog easily as well.

Cat who lives on my balcony


This is Randy (mum named him after the character in one of her fav Indonesian series). Male, huuuge, bushy tail. Would've looked nice if groomed properly. Wears a black mask over his eyes,like Zoro. Gorgeous green eyes and cute pink nose.Always seen around the neighbourhood, usually around my house area.

Begged my parents so that I can keep him. My parents said no way. This house has room for only one cat. My mum said Randy will pee all over the house, as he is male and old already. I argued that we can always send him to SPCA and get him spayed. Mum said NO.

Since I can't have the real thing, this picture is only thing I have.


P/S: He looks like he's good with cameras,isn't he? ;)


Buka puasa

Seems like Great Eastern mall had replaced KLCC as my second home now. Went there again, this time for buka puasa. The reasons why I love going there-->they always play my favourite songs at Guardian, the salesclerk at TNS is sooo nice, and I just lurrrve the atmosphere at O'Briens,where couples share big bowls of salads...it's so sweet.
Usually my family would go to Bkt Bintang area or KLCC. But nowadays the malls are packed(maybe due to overpopulation of KL...haha I dunno actually).So Great Eastern is the perfect place to go,coz not many people go there.
Anyway,now I'm addicted to Blow Pops(the mini version,without the stick).Now my tongue is blue.

Sports Management Class

Another highlight of this week is...SPRB class had started!! (SPRB is Sports & Recreation Management in Workplace). Quite fun. It's like attending a motivational talk. The syllabus covers the topics anatomy & physiology, weight control, fitness and stuffs like that. The grade distribution is like this-->you organize a recreation trip somewhere and make it happen and you'll get 20%, you write a report(1 report for the entire class) you'll get 10%, assignments is 20% and mid term (we get to choose whether we want objective questions or subjective...cool!) is another 20%. Final is the remaining 30%.
And guess what?I've been elected assistant director for the class. Some guys I dunno voted for me. Funny coz I've NEVER been elected for anything before(except for being class monitors during my primary schooldays).And I've never even been a class rep!

LIFE AFTER BEING LEFT(lol...what a title)

THE NEW & IMPROVED NANA!

It was hard at first.Reallyyy tough. I was a bit lost. Hmm...a lot actually. Imagine, attending classes where you don't know a single soul, leaving the familiarity of your former classmates' faces behind,having to start over again.But I managed to get through it (hip hip hooray!!), turn over a new leaf and start a new life.
At the beginning of last sem, I was scared and alone. Gradually, I'm going through this transition phase. I've been doing things I've never got the chance to do before, it feels grrreat! I play tennis during my free time(err once only...but I think sports is a good substitute for karaoke!!), I've decided to join some activites and taken up sports this sem! Hahahaa...most funny thing is I'm elected assistant director for my sports class! These things will never happen if I'm stuck being the old Nana. Hehe, I'm sure my old friends will laugh when they hear this.
Got my life back on track now. The change isn't easy though,quite painful. I'm used to go out everyday,having fun with my friends,or lazying around at home,watching movies on our laptop. Now I realize there's MORE to life than these things.
Plus,I met lots of amazing new people too! Interesting people whom I never get the chance to meet or talk to if I'm still taking EE or stuck with one friend all the time. And I've made a very wise decision of not dropping Intro last sem! The class expands my social circle. And makes me brave too. The subject is tough, if your IQ level is the same as mine...hehe LOW!, plus it's a 4th sem subject and I hardly know anyone. And if can survive that class, I can survive going to any other classes after this (I don't know how long this motivated feeling will last...hahaha).
I'm having fun here. Sure, I'm not singing some stupid nursery-rhyme-like songs about biology, or acting in some rediculous play or flirting with guys who aren't "so sure"(which I think it's really saaad!). I have commitments now, serious ones (and karaoke or enjoying isn't one of them!) and I guess it's time to be an adult now. =)

2nd week of class...

Did I mention about the yellow roses I brought when I first came back to Uniten?In a pathetic attempt to cheer up the Dungeon? Well,those flowers had died and my room stinks. Lucky that I brought a room spray. Isn't it ironic the way roses smell so good at first but when they're all dried up, they smell sooo awful??
Today is only Tuesday and I can't wait to get home. Not a good start of the week though. First thing before I went to class yesterday I had a problem of missing lens. Was in a hurry to go to class and I flicked my contacts off somewhere. Still haven't found it yet.Nevermind, my parents already sent me a new pair last night. But still....it's money gone off just like that!!
Huhu.Homesickness again.Feels a familiar longing for KLCC, Great Eastern mall and all my favourite hang out places back at home *sigh*

Saturday, July 14, 2007

Home for the weekend

Went to klcc. Bought some testpad (1 week after classes had started, before this i used the remaining papers from last semester[about 5 pieces], an example of good student[disorganized and unprepared]).

Friday, July 13, 2007

Back to School

Classes had started. I'm taking 19 credit hour so far...Geology & lab, Surveying & lab, dynamics,DE,sports & recreation management and fluid mechanics. But I will drop fluids soon! No way I'm gonna suffer and take 19 credits.
Tried to apply for other rooms, to get out of the Dungeon but no luck so far. But that's ok.

I'm happy

Koko's back. She'd been sick for such a long time, and was admitted to the vet( viral infection--vomitting, diarrhea, loss of appetite etc). She's skin and bones now. But alive. And playful like before. Just a bit weak.
Koko tried eating a dead lizard just now...gross!

Engagement day.
Uncle's fiancee wore this gorgeous green dress.
More relatives came over to my house than yesterday.
Inevitably, when relatives see me, they always ask about exams and studies. Either that or, during engagements and weddings, they'll ask about boyfriend (Yes,that's right,family members only talk to me about exams and boyfriend.No other topics than that.Anyway that's OK. People mentioning Yasser is enough to make me smile :-)
I had to admit, my family weren't behaving that well just now. We were so loud! Hahaha. During the engagement ceremony,me and my aunts were busy talking and cracking jokes and laughing.Kinda rude actually, but fun. My aunt decided to forget her diet for one day and enjoy the food served by the family. I'm not on a strict diet,so I had one helping of briyani, 2 pieces of chicken, poppadoms etc etc.
The family (of Javanese heritage) served this...I dunno what to call it. It's round and flat,almost like a pancake and when I called it UFO, my aunt laughed nonstop.
Sorry no pictures.I've been busy, washing the dishes,exchanging e-mails for Friendster and MySpace with cousins and stuffs like that.
What a tiring day. And tomorrow marks the beginning of year 2, semester 1. Tonight I'm going back to my apartment aka The Dungeon and I can say goodbye to my amazing life right now (glorious food, being able to watch TV and surf the Internet and read magazines without feeling guilty of how much time I've wasted doing nothing, being able to go to the mall 3 times a week etc etc). And I can say hello to the simple life (study, exams, quizzes, instant food...)

Preparation for Uncle's Engagement Part II

Grandma and aunt arrived from Johor.
Durian fever at my house right now.
During family reunions like this, these 3 things happen:
1)Grandma brought some fruits from Muar. House is full of mangosteens (my fav!!!), dragonfruit, rambutans and errk...durians!
2)Dad will eat rice with durians (He seldom eats this, only during times like this when there is ample supply of durians)
3)I will have to listen to grandma reminding me from time to time on how delicious durians are and how unlucky I am for not liking them. (As if not eating durians is the biggest loss ever!)
Frankly, I think there are more scrumptious food besides durian (Refer to my favourite food list).
Today I also checked into my apartment. I'm not being ungrateful, but during my two years of study here, this is my worst room so far.I got the last room,the one at the back of the apartment. It's dark and gloomy and dirty and looks more like a prison.Previously, I've gotten the room near the entrance,usually this kind of room comes with a great view (semester 1:view of the lake, semester 2:view of the opposite apartment). Now the view is the balcony where we'll be hanging our clothes.
The room needs to be decorated. I'm gonna bring in my pink study lamp, coz the lighting's very poor. And maybe some cool posters to cover up the hideous wall. The previous student pasted a Revlon and Sony Vaio ad and I'm gonna take them off, my buletin isn't a billboard ok!
Anyway, nothing to say about the engagement preparation. These days people just buy the trays, the fabrics covering them and the gifts. The fabrics are gorgeous enough, so old ladies won't have to decorate them or anything, they're ready made. Didn't join the ladies arraging the gifts. I just sat on the couch, eat lots and lots of mangosteen(grandma says I better eat it now or else I won't have a chance since I'm going back to Torture Chamber University tomorrow) and sometimes eavesdropping on their gossips.
P/S:Can't stand it. This house smells like durians and when people burp, the smell is stronger than ever!!

Friday, July 6, 2007

Preparation for Uncle's Engagement Part I

Relatives coming over to my house for the weekend coz my uncle's getting engaged this Sunday. Which means only one thing--I have to give my room to others and sleep in the family hall with the mosquitoes.

Tuesday, July 3, 2007

Six days till new semester begins :-(

My appeal for apartment is successful :-)
First floor :-)
Single sharing, no roomate...neither :-) or :-(
I just can't waaait for the next 3 months holiday again!!!

Coco the Cat (or Koko the Kat)

When I came home from Ampang Point this afternoon, Koko checked my bags, as usual. I kept a fillet-o-fish inside my handbag, and she tried to get it out of the bag.
Anyway, Koko is on diet now (vet’s advice). Her bowel system is weak and she can’t eat so much, or else she’ll purge a lot…and watery too. Gross! This kitty is quite a big eater, so when I gave her less food that usual, she climbed on top of her cage, where I kept her food and tried to open the plastic! Smart cat.
As for myself, I've quit all these crazy diets. I've lost a couple of kg(and skinnier when I was sick!) and even though I still haven't achieved my desired figure, I think I'll just keep fit by regular exercise. Today, I ate chicken lasagna and Coke(regular Coke,not the diet one!) .

Retail therapy

Went shopping today at KLCC. It takes my mind off those nasty thoughts about Uniten (well, a bit). Bought an orange chevron stripe top from Warehouse, beach bag,purse and a black top from Dorothy Perkins, jeans, cleanser etc.
I guess Koko loves shopping too. When I came home with lotsa shopping bags, she jumped straight at me and check through those bags. When I took out my purchases, she jumped excitedly and it's like as if she thought I bought those for her. I hid my new clothes, but she knows exactly where I hide it and aimed for it.

Wednesday, June 27, 2007

Almost the end of holidays

Classes start in about two weeks...
And I'm more depressed than ever.
Btw,got a new Siamese kitten named Coco (it has brown patches on its body).
Female. Around 3-4 months. Playful. With lotsa fleas.

Goodbye Bob

Bob's gone.
I don't wanna talk about it.

Friday, June 22, 2007

Fever =(

Am blogging this on my deathbed.
Well,no, sickbed actually.
Not feeling well since Monday.
Fever, vomitting, coughing,headache etc etc. This is terrible.
It's hard to sleep at night,due to the coughing.
It's been a week now, dunno how long will this go on. Hope it ends soon.

Sunday, June 17, 2007

Have you ever felt pissed off, depressed, worried but you can't tell anyone about it?

Coz you know they won't understand?Well, I have that feeling right now.
Back to being a cleaner. Now I'm getting used to all these works, it isn't so bad after all. Today, when I mopped the floor, I barely sweat.

First time I went to Sogo in 3 years!


It's the second day of Megasale today. Went to OU with Yana and Aween, the meet up with Yana's friend there.

Then,we went to City Bazaar,across the road from Sogo. Hmm,nothing much. Just lots and lots of small,cheap shops, selling imitation designer items, tudung and stuffs. Spotted this shop that sells Le Sport Sac and Kipling bags (not original ones,of course). Lotsa choices there and one of my weaknesses--cute bags.

I wanted to buy almost EVERYTHING in the shop. There's this cute LSS beach bag, gorgeous LSS handbag(but costs RM120..can you believe that??), green and blue Kipling sling bags...Finally,I settle for a pink flowery Kipling backpack.

Next,went to Sogo. Bought a black top at Elle. While waiting for Yana to finish shopping, Aween and I sat crossed legged on the floor coz all the seats are taken. Imagine how tired we were! Shopping requires LOTS of energy.After Sogo, home?? Nooo. Went to Tesco Ampang. Had early dinner at Pizza Hut there. Then went home.

Conclusion: Even though Sogo offers really good bargain during sales and even has a Benefit counter there, and the bags in City Bazaar are fab, I still don't like going there. The traffic there,the crowd, the excessive exhaust fumes from busses, cabs etc. Urrghh!

Friday, June 15, 2007

More updates on Bob...and me

Today,I finished painting the entire staircase. But there's still some finishing work and touch-up to do tomorrow.And today is another day of endless houseworks.The only thing that cheered me up is Bob.She curled up when sleeping..I toss her from one hand to another like a ball! Well,she does look like a ball when sleeping like that.She's maaad..coz I disturb her sleeping. She opened her mouth, as if to scare me, showing her fangs. But it didn't work. Looks funny to me,not scary.She finally got a chance to sleep peacefully in the evening. And she snores!

Thursday, June 14, 2007

What a tiring day...

...and its only 4pm.
Woke up, had half-boiled eggs for breakfast and the all set to work,work,work.
As usual,mopped the floor,folding clothes,clean the cat's litter,iron a bunch of clothes,laundry and today an extra task--painting the entire staircase with coloured varnish!
No skills in painting, but well...practice makes perfect.After some time,i notice that if you hold the brush at right angle, and controlled movement of the brush, the gloss will blend in nicely.
First try--i messed up the first two steps of the stairs. Then with the help of thinner--i redo it again.
This stinks.i nearly puked at the smell of thinner and varnish.
I'm on a break right now. after this,more tasks--arrange stuffs,sweep the floor,mop upstairs,made lots and lots of sandwiches coz tomorrow morning Dad's having a party at his office,give kitty a shower...aaargh.Oh and later i need to figure out what this pain at my left hip joint is all about.

2nd day of being Chef Nana

Mum told me to cook sayur sawi in oyster sauce. I've never cooked this,but I've cooked something similar to this before and roughly I get the idea what to put in, and the sequence.So,this morning woke up early to prepare lunch for my dearly uncle. I cooked, and Mum was in the kitchen too, watching my every move. Huhu.Trouble is, Mum cooked using instincts while I measure EVERYTHING. How much oil, how much onions etc.I guess that's the difference between home science and science stream student.

Saturday, June 9, 2007

About Bob & me...

Bob's having a bad day today. So am I. My uncle (my dad's youngest bro) is here. He laughed out loud like a 5-year-old while watching some comedies on TV(trust me,they're NOT even funny) and because of his loud,booming laugh, Bob couldn't sleep.
Bob is starting to look like a sphinx. She's losing her hair, is getting skinnier. When she looks up at me, she looks EXACTLY like a sphinx(the skinny hairless cat). Eyes pop out and shrunken face. Sooo NOT cute!
Her fur looks dull, she vomitted some white icky stuff. Should start giving her vitamins again.
Since my uncle's here today, mum had to prepare the usual food that my grandma always serve. She made ME do it. So today, I cooked, mopped the floor, set the table, cleaned the house and everything. Mum helped me with the gulai daun kesum though. The chap chye and rice, I made them myself, ON MY OWN.Huhu.Tired. Anyway, my uncle said that my cooking is delicious =D
OK,this is all for now. I dunno what is Bob's problem but she's meowing nonstop at me and pulling off the phone line. Guess she doesn't want me to surf the Internet too much.Gotta go.Bye.

Rainy days

Well,it's been a while. Nothing much going on lately. Been raining every day.And when it's raining I can't:

a)watch tv
Astro has weak satellite signals when it rains.

b)listen to radio

c)surf the Internet

d)exercise
Lightning struck and I lost focus and I totally lost count of how many reps I've done.

I can't do almost everything.

What I can do is:

a)snuggle under the blanket and sleeeep

b)stuff my face coz cold weather makes u hungrier than usual.
