Haaaa xD....Today is good. Today is a very good day. Yesterday was fun day but today was a fruitful day. You see, the day before yesterday I was depressed that I didn't get to do any shopping and just being depressed in general. So we decided to go sightseeing the day after just to have some fun. After debating between KL Tower, Aquaria and Petronas Towers, Aquaria eventually won out. So we went and it was so much fun! It's very fun watching big fishes swimming around you know!
We went to PC Fair because that was the actual reason we went to KLCC. I got a nice mouse with a rubbery surface and a pretty mouse pad that came free with the mouse. The mouse was probably overpriced a bit to accomodate the mousepad but how often do you get a matching mouse and mouse pad? I got earphones too, but didnt get headphones because I havent found one that I fell in love with. Didn't buy much at KLCC though we did have fun trying out clothes at PADINI. XD I bought the dress today hehehehehehehe.
So today I bought clothes. After looking at my wardrobe it became obvious that I need new clothes as I am wearing the same clothes over and over again. As if there is no differentiation between my school clothes and everyday clothes. I want to get at least a few sets of new clothes before going for holidays.
We went to the night market, where I bought headscarves. Totchi was more excited by them than I was. I bought, and I just counted, about twelve. You can never have too much, right? And you can't keep wearing the same one each time! Neutral colors are important, so you always have more than one.
After that was MidValley which was also a fine harvest. I am happy xD. Tomorrow we will go watch movie and see if the Skechers store in MidValley has my size hehehehehehehe. Monday is the day I make my passport. Wheee! I am so happy!
Ta'ra!
p/s btw, I mailed out those boxes today, so wait for them aye? xD

Playing Santa etc.
It's XMas soon, and I suddenly found myself asking people if I could send them presents. My friend pointed out that I was like Santa Clause. Then I thought, well why not play santa? I sure wouldn't mind people sending me stuff. :/ I'm practically sending a whole minibar in a box to this particular friend.
Anyway, I'm currently in Kuching, but tomorrow I'm going back to KL to continue my Japanese class. No more Beginner. Now it's Intermediate 1. And yes, I'm damn proud of myself. No more swallowing Hiragana and Katakana, but no Kanji yet either. That's for the advanced level. How far away is the Advance class you wonder? Well, from here on out I have to finish Intermediate 1, 2, and 3 before I will get to Advance 1. I've stopped comparing my Japanese course to what people have at school because it has a different emphasis. I wanted to keep having the same teacher and the same classmates that's why I'm following up my classes continuously. If not I would love to restart in January and just spend my holiday at home, rather than staying in KL going to classes twice a week for 2 hours each and then doing nothing in between. But still, shopping is not nothing. XD
Since both Kujong (my ps2) and Mull (my psp) are in KL, I have no games to play, so I spend my days (just one, actually) reading, and the other days sleeping, and writing a story. One of those sagas that will just not finish. I found this classic exercise book and decided I will fill it with crap. Thus, you have it.
After all, I need something to distract me from my lack of porns, what with all my slaves left to their own devices in KL. Our house is not exactly empty at the moment. My relatives arrived yesterday from their holiday and are stopping over our place. It was a good thing I thoroughly cleaned the place. I swept, I mopped, and swept again. I need to dust it when I go back. KL dust is notorious. They are all thick and black. But still, the bulbs in the ktichen has completely blown out and the living rooms are just waiting for their moment to die. Daddyo needs to come by soon.
I am not good with bulbs.
I'm coming back for Raya Haji of course, just for the heck of it, since it's on Monday, and that means my class will be canceled and I have the whole week off, until Thursday comes along. But that is okay, because Totchi will come to KL too and we can go shopping and do stuff. xD It's been sad because I have no friends. sighs.
Right now I'm currently working out my European tour plan. Tickets to London are cheap. Cheaper than an almost-direct flight to Norway. I should consider this. o_O Studying abroad plans can go get stuffed. For now. :D

Tea Mania
I have the worst timing when it comes to getting out of the house. Not only is today Saturday (The day when Sekibang-like highschool brats hang out at BB displaying their Sekibangness) but it was pouring!
I originally wanted to go to KLCC today to check out some porn at Kinokuniya for Watashiwa-san, but also to get souvenirs. I'm free, so I thought I should spread the love. So anyway, since it was pouring and only got worse and worse as I exited the apartment, I didn't immediately hailed a cab to go to KLCC because I didn't want to stand in the rain. So I walked all the way to Sg. Wang because Giant is the cheapest supermarket in the area.
I bought a buttload of tea, inducing some amusing comments from a woman who was browsing the tea aisle beside me. xD My spoils for the day turned out to be only tea and some wrapping papers.
I have a couple of these boxes so I decided to fill it to the brim with tea. Watashiwa-san, this is for you. A lovely little package isn't it? XD
I mentioned before that I might try the gold blend, so here they are. I took out about a third of this into that other box. Have yet to try it though. But they make such nice gifts. I never thought of giving people tea as gifts before. Especially Malaysian tea. BOH is freakingly cheap for a Malaysian gift item. One box of Earl Grey is about 7.50, and the pack 100g is about 2.30. Compare that to some KLCC pewter junk. This one actually taste good!
I got a cab at Sg. Wang after much persuasion (damn you taxi drivers! Is that meter just there for decoration?!) I only stayed in KLCC for dinner, after which I made my way back to Times Square and then to Sg. Wang. I spent less than RM100 today. I'm amazed at myself.

Reeling Back
Hello. I am finally done with finals, but I am still in KL. I have my Japanese test next Monday, so I'll be going back on Tuesday. Even so, I'll be back on the 1st to accomodate my next Japanese class. Pending there will be one, and there are enough people to join. Well, cross your fingers!
A while back I saw this on Wiki. A Sarawakian dollar note! xD How cool is that? We have our own currency! And I think it was the same value as Bruneian dollar. Imagine if we hadn't joined Malaysia, we would have our own currency and who's to say our currency won't be higher than the current ringgit eh??
We'll still be a colony and we would be getting our independence later, but who cares, eh? Look at how Hong Kong turned out! XD XD XD
Anyway, since exams finished, I've been sitting back, relaxing and drinking tea. It's amazing the amount of tea I've been downing these past weeks. I consume an average of 2 bags every day and a half. A funny coincidence is that, my sugar cubes, creamer and tea bags all come in a pack of 50. So if I start consuming them at the same time, they will finish at the same rate! Hahaha! Well except for the sugar cubes, since I take two at a time.
Anyway, I recently replenished my stock of tea and bought this: Earl Grey with Tangerine. My dad ordered Earl Grey at TGI Fridays and they served this. It was so nice I decided to try it myself.
And I am hooked! There's no going back for me now. D: It is that nice (And I'm not just talking about the packaging). It's nicely frangranted, subtly flavored and rich. I thought Earl Greys were just for stuffy old men, but I was wrong. I took this tea with my usual sugar and creamer and they taste just as nice. My dad takes them with honey. I would very much like to try it with lemon. I am not a big fan of flavored tea to start with because they always use artificial coloring and flavors, but this tea is 92% tea leaves and 8% flavorings which of course, consists mostly of citrus oil. Yum!
Anybody wants them for a christmas present maybe? I have this habit of sharing everything that I found awesome xD and finding out what I can mail out and what I can't. Even though I've already mailed out something that shouldn't be able to be mailed out. xD xD xD
Of course, I bought the regular tea too, just for variety. There is a variance of the regular BOH tea, called the Gold Blend. I haven't bothered with it yet. Maybe I should. I am going crazy over tea D: ever since I stopped drinking Lipton. That tea is not nice. I drank Lipton again after I found BOH and I nearly gagged. It was that bad. I had been drinking bad tea up till then. No wonder I didn't like tea much then.
I think I will play FF12 again, since the holiday season has started. xD Yes, I have become a regular vegetable, minus the nutrients.
Ta'ra!

Proud Purchases
Hello. It's been a while. I'm in the middle of my exam season and I have a feeling I may be repeating some paper. But that is thought for another day. For now, it is the weekend and my next paper will be on Monday, so let me relax and gush about my latest purchases.
This is the best moisturizer ever. The L'Occitane's Ultra Moisturizing Fluid with SPF20. I like things that are 2-in-1 like this. It is a moisturizer+sunscreen. Preferably I'd like a toner+moisturizer+sunscreen but this is sufficient enough :D. According to the law of Price is an indicator of Quality, this thing is a gem. It moisturizers well, and is non-sticky like some moisturizers tend to be, and it's a sunscreen but not all hot and thick that covers your sckin like a layer of plastic. It gives a slight white tint after application, but once it dries which is about a minute, there is no sticky feeling at all. Even after I walk outside for a while, it was not dilluted by the sweat and does not make your skin shine. It even left a matte-like porcelain finish to your skin. So nice!
It really blends in well. I am so in love with it. XD
It's important to keep your skin hydrated and protected at the same time. I always take day skin care for granted because I wear tudong and only get the occasional sunlight touching my face. But I usually dont feel it and I don't want my ignorance to bite me back in the future.
Next, I got a watch. My watch fell and died. Now the people I sent it to for repairs said that it's "condemned". I dont know what she meant, but that watch is not working right at all.
I didnt plan to get one today, but it just sort of happened. It's terrible going to exams without a watch since you cant look at your phone. I haven't been browsing much, but I know that there isn't any that I would currently want from the usual Casio. I'm a dedicated fan of Baby-G you see. So I looked at Swatch. Up until then I didn't realize that all Swatch watches are analog. You can't find a digital Swatch watch at all. The one I got is part of the 007 Villain series, Le Chiffre from Casino Royale. The card theme goes well with the movie name huh?
I haven't used an analog watch in a while. I need to get used to the constant ticking on my wrist now. But the black strap contrasts nicely on my skin. xD It's so nice! I love!
Well that's all to gush about for now. I only had 3 hours of sleep the night before, so I need to make up for my lack of sleep. And I do wish Get Smart would come out in DVD soon. I love that movie.
Ta'ra!

Good Times
To say this was a busy week would be inaccurate. In fact, I was so free, it was a crime! And rightly so, since I'm supposed to complete two assignments by tomorrow. But I really only have to do one by this weekend. The other one is due next week, or anytime before November 3rd and it's really already too over-discussed in class. I just hope my answers won't be too similar or schematic with the others.
So.
If I forgot to mention, I had an open house last Sunday. Thanks to everyone who came. I'm sorry that the laksa was a bit funny D:. Here are some of the people who came, and funny enough, most of them came in pairs. Here are my ex-homies, wearing opposing colors. Normally it's the opposite who wears pink and blue.
Khaye and Mary came over after attending a wedding at Batu Caves. They had a bit of a sleepover before they ate. They were the last to leave too. Good fun.
Pictures are posted without permission, of course xD. 
She said so here. It's in full hiragana for those who can understand it. Basically saying 'thank you very much. It was very delicious. - Ooshiro *heart*' xD So now we know where those funny doodles in the textbook came from.
And I suppose she wanted to return this container back. Even though there was no need since this is a disposable and I gave them away often.
In a cute Sushi King bag too.
I need to start planning my studies now.

Starting next week till our first exam paper is the final exam. I have one resit, but that teacher said the topics are the same. All the same syllabus. Possibly the same questions. As I said, our college uses repeat exam papers to make life easier.
I need to start planning my studies now.
Oh, oh, I've started exercising again. It's been two weeks and I feel great! Cliche, I know, but so true. I take less effort to do things now and my breathing feels so smooth it was as if my body draws on the energy from the oxygen by automatic! Of course, I wanna lose weight, but I also want some strenght and flexibility. And the great thing is that, they both come as fast as the fat goes! Though I can only exercise on the weekdays because of my annoying neighbours. I hope they are away this Deepavali even though they prolly don't celebrate it. I am going to exercise that Monday morning hehehehe.
I completed my goal of three exercises per week today, and I have class in the afternoon. Last class of the semester. Need to shower. Have homework to complete hehe.
Ta'ra!

Oh My Holiday!
GWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
This sucks. I had anticipated it, but to have to face reality was worse D':. From November to March, resorts in the Malaysian east coast close in anticipation of the monsoon season. Therefore, Redang and Tioman, along with my dreams of snorkelling are out this December! But I am adamant about going for a holiday this end of the year, so I scoured the list of hotels in Malaysia. After all, our government is promoting cuti cuti Malaysia aren't they? So shouldn't there be somewhere decent to go to this season?
While islands on the east coast are out, islands on the west coast are fine all year long. They are mainly Pangkor, Langkawi and Penang.
I know. Lame, right?
I've been to Langkawi so many times already and I just went to Penang not long ago. Which only leaves Pangkor. I looked up Pangkor resorts and they all ahve pictures that dated back from the 90's. *puke*
Crestfallen, I moved on and looked up Cameron Highlands. So I couldn't go to the beach, this holiday season. Why not go way above sea level instead?
....
I did some more search and forget it, I am turned off by Cameron Highlands now. I am not a big fan of plants, although I like strawberries. Even Berjaya Hills and its fake Japanese Village and fake French Town do not appeal to me. It just makes me even sadder that I am not in an actual French Village. T_T or Japanese Town.
I suppose the only island worth going this end year is the island of Singapore, shopping for games. Maybe I should get a ps3 while I'm there. And maybe visit Sentosa Island while I'm at it. Unlike Malaysia, Singapore really knows how to take care of their guests.
Malaysia is so boring. Whoever made up our attractions is lying.
Ta'ra.

Iroiro na Mono
Random and various things, as the title suggests indeed. I wanted to do this post last night, but I suppose Kuja was at the end of his life so he couldn't handle it. I had to turn him off last night. Kuja goes on week-long runs often, by the way, so don't worry about him (Kuja thanks you for your concerns...if any).
Anyway, about a week before going home for raya, we got a new carpet for the apartment. It took some persuasion coz I told daddyo the house looked bare without one. He said stuff about it being hard to maintain and dust and whatnot, but in the next half an hour, we were already sorting through several rugs and carpets.
Moral of the story: daddyo is easily persuaded. Just don't tell him that. xD
This is the carpet we got. It's surprisingly light, and very smooth and fluffy surface. Some sort of new material or something. Has small, round rubble soles to keep it in place. As I expected, the living room look 100 times cozier with this little addition. Of course, this picture is before I actually put it in place.
In actuality, that night we only planned to get a welcome mat for the front door. Daddyo was commenting why we (I) don't place a mat by the entrance to rub our shoe soles so the dirt won't enter the house. We had one in place before, but it got messed up a lot whenever the door opens. And it looked awkward just sitting there, some distance from the door, and when the door closes it's practically in the middle of the entranceway.
So a door mat is what we needed. One that is outside where people can rub their shoe soles on before coming in. It's practical and nice. So I got us one that wouldn't complain and would always, always smile no matter how much people wipe their feet on it. :D
This, I think was taken the same day we bought the carpets. This was at the Golden Scissors Saloon, Times Square where daddyo goes for his monthly grooming session. I tagged along, naturally, and got a haircut myself.
My hair was cut short before during my July break, but it's grown out shape and I have been able to tie it up too so it needed more cutting. I had my hair washed and cut, and despite me having more hair than daddyo, his head was still foaming when I left the shop early to go shop at Borders. xD We break fast at Marriot that day. Nice stuff.
On that note, I am really loving short hair. Before I would feel a twinge of regret for my long hair, but not anymore. I use less shampoo, my hair dries faster and I don't need to tie it up to get it out of my face. I just like having my head hold all my hair up without restrainers. Perhaps I should have it trimmed and styled every three months instead of six months, eh? xD

My hair was cut short before during my July break, but it's grown out shape and I have been able to tie it up too so it needed more cutting. I had my hair washed and cut, and despite me having more hair than daddyo, his head was still foaming when I left the shop early to go shop at Borders. xD We break fast at Marriot that day. Nice stuff.On that note, I am really loving short hair. Before I would feel a twinge of regret for my long hair, but not anymore. I use less shampoo, my hair dries faster and I don't need to tie it up to get it out of my face. I just like having my head hold all my hair up without restrainers. Perhaps I should have it trimmed and styled every three months instead of six months, eh? xD
This is in the middle of my Japanese class. I sit in the front row. I've been stuck there since my first class and I have a tendency to return to the same seat everytime, especially if its a good seat. As I've said before, our lessons are conducted kindergarten-style, with all the recycled names of Kimura, Chan, and Lee. I wanted to put up a picture of sensei but I felt like a pervert putting up people's pictures without their knowledge. Not that I've never done it before, but it just felt different this time. xD Maybe next time.
Ah yes, this package arrived a few days ago, and Miss Nadja Irene was extremely pleased with it. I mailed it the Friday before I left for Kuching (26th September). It amazed me how short Norwegian addresses are. Even their postcode has only four digits. My Kuching home address is also similarly short, but I think the case in Norway is because of their population of only 5 million xP.

Aaah, post-workout soreness, I missed thee~~. It's a sign that I've been working hard, aye. xD I even cleaned the ceiling fan today, as part of my efforts to reduce the distribution of dusts in this house. KL air is freaking bad. The dusts are not just black - they leave a stain if not properly cleaned. I wiped away an inch thick of black dusts off the ceiling fan. It has never been cleaned before and we've been living here for about 3 years. As soon as it was cleaned, I noticed how much smoother and stronger the spinning becomes. Increased in aerodaynamics, now that the blades are dust-free?
I finished the first draft of my assignment, even though I'm supposed to finalize this draft today, according to my schedule. But sighs. Too much free time is making me lazy.
I'll have pizze tonight, and I need to pop down to the sundry shop to get water.
Ta'ra!
p/s I think I really do have the make of a domestic goddess.

Getting Organized?
I am trying to be, despite my various failed attempts in the past. Indeed, some of them had met with some success, but they have all been short-lived. So I decided it's time for some re-evaluation of my time. And time is certainly something I have a-plenty.
The night I returned to KL from Kuching, I took my B5 ring binder stuffed with xlassy off-white loose leaf papers, and started drawing columns and hours. I did an evaluation of my time, with my day starting from 7am (yeah, right) up til 2 am. Therefore, 18 hour days. It looks like I'm sleeping for only 5 hours, but my sleeping hours are flexible and naps are included in the days.
In summary, this is my findings:

It looks like I'm sleeping for only 5 hours, but my sleeping hours are flexible and naps are included in the days.
In summary, this is my findings:
- 18 hours a day, = 126 hours a week.
- 16 hours of classes a week, (school + Japanese lessons)
- 8 hours of TV a week.
- 12 hours of commuting a week (Am really not happy with this)
- Which totals into 90 free hours a week.
I have classes Wednesday to Friday only which means my weekend is longer than my weekday.
Now, rather than buying a new organizer, I went out and bought sport shorts. (I went to KLCC. After I bundled my umbrella which was dripping wet and had been put into a plastic wrap by the guy at the entrace, I started prancing forward, humming to the theme song of Doraemon. This humming to Doraemon thing has been happening quite frequent lately, despite me not watching any Doraemon since I was 12).
Well, I'm going to start exercising regularly again so I need them for motivation hehehehe. After all, exercise would only take about 3 hours off those 90 free hours. Its not a lot, really. 1 hour each session, 3 times a week. I even blew up my exercise ball again and bought two new workout DVDs. I love Denise Austin. XD
2009 organizers are on sale now, by the way. Next year I'll just get a small one. Easier to bring around. Besides, I have thesis datelines to chase starting January, ending December, so a pocket organizer is essential. I just need to write down what to do on those days and stuff, anyway.
But my daily organizer will be manually done with B5 paper and stick up the wall with blu-tack. I just need to get blu-tack, and hope they dont leave a mark on the wall. And I really dont like it when my dad has a peek at my schedule. But pfft. Then he knows what I have to do and such.
Over-planning is overkill. Therefore I like to keep it flexible. I have an assignment due next week, and exams starting November. My exam will only take two weeks. If not ebcause of my Japanese class, I would be able to go home. We just found out our exam is on the 24th of December. Though the possibility of it being moved to January is high.
Either way, this will be a busy final exam since I have to resit one paper. Sighs. This has been such a blow to my ego earlier this sem with the stupid cangkul making himself out as if he's so smart even though all he does is mumble.
That's cangkuls for you. One giant tank of stupidity.
Of course, my life cannot be all work and no play. In fact, I played a lot. Holding my little black controller and have Vaan run around in his mini top is really filling me with happiness. XD I should prolly get a new memory card. And ooh, I really want that white, 160GB PS3 now. Daddyyyy!!!
Ta'ra!

It Has Arriveth!!!
Let me tell you about today. I woke up early, in a good mood, took the train and bus to school and went to my morning class, where the lecturer liked me.
Then PMS kicked in, and I had to loosened my belt one hole behind and was hit by massive stomache. By lunch time I had to buy an emergency pack of Kotex and sort myself out. Trust me. This was not the first time.
Either way, first day period pains are not easily relieved by merely changing pads. Whatever those ads tell you, they lied. You can only relieve the pain by medicine and I, who have never tried menstrual pills before, decided today I desperately needed one to get through my afternoon class.
Just as I was making my way out of Jusco towards Guardian, I received a text that our afternoon class has been mercifully canceled. Just last night I was doing some self-checking and realized that I have over 96 of free hours a week and this afternoon off is going to add to that. I briefly thought of doing some shopping, and dropping by Times Square for my friend's errand. briefly. Then, my uterus started acting up and all thoughts of pleasure went out the window. I needed to rest. Badly.
I went to Guardian. And they were out of Panadol Menstruals. I cursed and walked away, waving goodbye to the mascaras.
I made my way to subway, and bought two sandwiches. One for lunch, the other for dinner, so I dont have to worry about it later. By then I was already in a prissy mood and my first victim was the guy serving me at Subway. I am not repentant.
The bus ride to KL was bumpy and terrible. Luckily it wasn't peak hours so I got two seat for myself. Unfortunately, the seat, the people and the whole bus stank, like how public transport always do and in addition to giving me a headache, it worsened my mood. I was already wondering if I could survive the train ride and short walk home.
Therefore, when i reached my stop, which was conveniently at the side of a main road, I hailed a cab. Five ringgit and five minutes later, I was home. Thinking of the slightest chance that the sundry shop in our apartment would have panadol menstruals, I went to the lobby instead of all the way up to the fourteenth floor. Out of curiousity, I stuck my hand into our mailbox and my palm struck gold.
Indeed, resting on top of our pile of mail, was this snug little package. The stamps are nice.
I pulled it out without effort and nearly squealed on the spot, like I did when I opened Totchi's raya card for me (Thanks, Totchi, btw. I really loved it. xD).
It was the DVD Watashiwa-san had sent me from Norway.
I examined the package and found that it had cleared Malaysian customs on Septemeber 25th, therefore it was possible that it reached me before I left home for raya, therefore the reason the guard didn't inform me of any packages arriving when I was gone was because it had already arrived before then.
Hmmm.
The package obviously had went through a hell of a trip, looking at the rip at the corners and how crumpled it was. Anyway, that doesn't matter. I am only interested in the content.
It is a Platinum version. Which is just a fancy way of saying a re-print of best-selling games. Watashiwa-san didn't really like the cheap-looking cover illustration, but I loved it either way. I have two fakes and they both suck. The disc gets stuck in different locations and when it does I have to replace it with the other. I finally gave up, even though I've gone quite far into the game. I don't like the suspence of anticipating when it would next just freeze.
Originals are really something. I didn't know all originals come with a booklet of manuals. Just very basic manuals. I have a few originals for PS1, one for PSP and one for PS2, and they all have booklets. It's pretty neat. They are all legitimate and stuff. After all, I don't feel good about 'stealing' from my favorite manufacturers.
Having this game in my grasp, I pulled Kujong out of his sleeping bag and plugged him in. I popped the DVD inside him and started playing. The downside of this was that it didn't recognize my previously saved data. Having no other choice, I played from the beginning. Which was awesome - nothing freezed! I did not mind replaying it because it had been over ten months since I last touched it. And besides, there were some items I wanted to find.
Afterwards, 6-hour++ straight of gaming ensued. I finally stopped after getting a terrible headache from staring at the screen too long. There is always tomorrow. xD I am so happy!

TA-DA!!!
My own, first, original Final Fantasy XII game!!!!!
You can see that, obviously, but I have been craving for this game for so long, I was numbed with happiness. This is the first original PS2 game I own. I had to kiss up to Watashiwa-san a lot to obtain this.
It is a Platinum version. Which is just a fancy way of saying a re-print of best-selling games. Watashiwa-san didn't really like the cheap-looking cover illustration, but I loved it either way.

Having this game in my grasp, I pulled Kujong out of his sleeping bag and plugged him in. I popped the DVD inside him and started playing. The downside of this was that it didn't recognize my previously saved data. Having no other choice, I played from the beginning. Which was awesome - nothing freezed! I did not mind replaying it because it had been over ten months since I last touched it. And besides, there were some items I wanted to find.
Afterwards, 6-hour++ straight of gaming ensued. I finally stopped after getting a terrible headache from staring at the screen too long. There is always tomorrow. xD I am so happy!
THANK YOU WATASHIWA-SAN!!!
I am swallowing that game whole. Now my life is complete. xD xD
Ta'ra!
p/s btw, if you were wondering, the sundry shop didn't have panadol menstrual and my stomach ache disappeared while I was immersed in the game. xD Kujong is great therapy.
Raya
Hello.
Seven days of raya has passed and now I'm back in KL. I won't complain like everyone else that raya gets more and more boring every year. In fact, I like this more relaxed atmosphere. This is the first time we celebrate raya without my beloved grandmother. I don't even have the heart to put her picture here.
But life goes on, and we celebrated as best as we could. Unlike previous years, I barely have time to visit friends later in the day because we spend so much time just hanging out at grandma's house. This year is different though. We still get our yearly dose of roast lamb and roast beef at my dad's uncle's, but we were pretty much done with families by 4 pm. That night I managed to visit three houses.
Ezra was back from Melbourne for raya and we had a rare gathering. On the second day we have our annual open house and Totchi came by, as usual. xD
Here we are, our slave and his mistresses. Slaves should be on the floor, of course. His incompetence thus far is forgiven because he gave me some gifts this year, hehehe.
I managed to go out at night on the second day and visited Munee with Totchi. After staying at her house for a while, Totchi and I went to Bing, and ended up checking out this really cute employee. Yep, that really made my day. xD Our open house wasn't as hectic as before, but it was still pretty enjoyable. Last year was even more exhausting, but this year is fine too. I like the extra downtime later in the day.
I held an open house for friends on the third day, and made laksa! My laksa was gone by the end of the day. So happy. xD I'm going to hold an open house in KL too. I felt like I went on a laksa marathon for the enxt two days, because all the open houses I went to afterwards served laksa. There is definitely no better laksa in Malaysia than laksa Sarawak. We Sarawakians unanimously agree. After all, all the other states laksa's gravy were made from fishes. Eww. Ours are made from herbs and good stuff.

Raya Eve 2
Like all raya eves, it was spent doing some hefty cleaning to prepare for our raya second day open house. None of us wanted to clean on the night of raya first day. We all wanna go out of course, so we really pushed ourselves tonight to avoid work tomorrow night.
Selamat Hari raya to you guys over in Norway as well!! I really missed having you guys around!
Ezra!! Ezra is back too! You! How dare you run away to Melbourne without telling me!
And Totchi, ima, ashita no ban, hima desu ka? xD
Our open house is second and third day. Second day is pretty hectic because it's our official open house. I'll get so burned out by the end of the day I can barely stand! Third day is usually an open day for friends only. So if you wanna avoid the crowd, come on the third day. We have non-traditional food that day. xD if you wanna come on both days that's fine too hahaha!
I will go out fourth day onwards. So if you have open houses I can crash or you want my lovely presence in your humble abode, please tell me! My crew and I will surely give you a visit! xD
After deciding which outfit to wear tomorrow, and solving my scarf crisis, I'm finally set for tomorrow. I wanted to buy some mascara tonight, but Guardian was out!! All the mascaras are gone!!!
We have now in our hands a mascara crisis.
sighs. Anybody has one I can borrow?
Selamat Hari Raya everyone!
Ta'ra!

Um, Where was I?
Lately I've been channelling my linguistic prowess in my stories and assignments rather than this blog. Or is it because there simply wasnt anything interesting to tell about other than my on-going lamentation of life.
Or I was just not too bothered by it to write about it. Usually it helps me clear my mind a bit, but I supposed addictions are not called so in a positive light simply because they are not. XD. I'll leave that for later.
Anyway, I'm finally easing up on the yaoi. Good for me eh? The stories become repetitive after about 40GB worth of them I suppose, but there are certain series I am still following hehehehe. I'm going to have my Beginner 1 Japanese language test on Monday. We will have both oral and writing. Sensei said our oral would be done at a 'special room'. Well the language school is small, so where is this room we wonder, so she opened the door and gestured to the corridor. Yes, my friends, our special room is on the corridor. Nice.
Needless to say, I am very much in love with my japanese classes. You know that little twinge of heaviness in your heart each time you thought of going to class? Well I experience not an ounce of it for my Jap classes. I would prolly even go insane if I dont see sensei twice a week. I don't know how I could surive! gasp!
So, raya is in about ten days and I'm going back next Saturday and since I have classes from Wednesday to Friday, I should start doing my holiday shopping. Daddyo didn't stay long enough to accompany me shopping so I contend myself with his absence and find solace in his card. xD xD xD
Today I bought t-shirts. I really needed new t-shirts you see and my wardrobe is in a dire need of an update. I finally got myself a Superman and Batman t-shirt! A bit childish, but I've always wanted one. A black t-shirt with Batman's logo on it, and a really cool white shirt with Superman's logo in gold prints and graffitis at the bottom at the back. Included in my shopping list today was my sister's perfumes and a copy of Love Recipe 2. I already have one of this, but this time it's for the lovely Nadja Irene. I wonder how much the postage is on this thing.
Speaking of postage, I posted Watashiwa-san her raya card yesterday. Oh and MY FINAL FANTASY 12 IS FINALLY ON ITS WAY!! SQUEEEEEEE! Thank you Watashiwa-san! I love youuuu! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Of course, my shopping is yet complete. I have found a sexy handbag, but I have yet found a sexy pair of heels. That's right. Heels. This year I'm finally buying my own pair of heels. I am tired of looking shorter than everyone else. And when you wear heels there's a certain bounce to your step that makes you look more elegant and lady-like. I want to look like I belong in my clothes, not like some adolescent who just refused to grow up.
And I have RM40 vouchers from Parkson and Metrojaya that's yet to be spent. xD I will definitely make a trip to benefit at Parkson for some cosmetics xD and MAC of course, make up is important xD xD. And aaah, so fickle about the shoes. I'm thinking if I cant decide then I'll just borrow my sis's again.
So, happy hari raya everyone and hopefully I'll have some picture updates soon, eh? Ta'ra!
p/s this weekend there's been some sort of performance at Sg. Wang. It was cool. They played old raya songs and people dance to them in the 50s and 70s theme. There was even an old grey vespa on the stage and if it's a 70s song, then the dancers would dress all seventies, complete with afro hair, big glasses and flare pants. Amusing xD.

Why I Love Malaysia?
The week following to our 51st Merdeka Day Independence, I heard radio DJs dish this question out a lot, either to themselves or to the listeners. The reason they came up with are all pretty lame. They love Malaysia for the 'friendly conversation' they have at mamak stalls "ANEE! TEH CANAI TARIK SATU!" And going to a Malay shop saying "Hi kak!" and to a chinese shop going "Yo apek"? Sheesh seriously, the reasons people come up with.
So, take away all these 'friendly conversations' and add up all the rude bastards spitting on the streets and you don't love Malaysia anymore? So Malaysia is unique because we have ice cream and gelato flavors from all over the world, we are multi-racial and our shopping malls are bigger than our airports.
Seriously.
Are we that superficial?
Ask an Afghan why he loves his country, it would not be because they are oil-rich or because they have finally been rid of the Taliban. Who cares if they are living in a warzone and risk getting killed any minute of the day, yet these people still love their country. This is the kind of patriotism that everyone should embrace.
Therefore, to answer my own question: Why do I love Malaysia? I love Malaysia unconditionally. There is no specific reason why I should love my country. It is enough that I was born here, that this country gave me citizenship amd rights. Even if you threaten me with a wok's ass (or confiscate my mykad with said wok's ass) I will still love my country. You could say my love is filial, like how you should love parents just because they are your parents.
It's simple and uncomplicated. I love Malaysia simply because I was born here and Malaysia is my home, regardless of how hot it gets and how much I want to migrate to a cooler country, in the end I'll have my body buried in Malaysian soil anyway. I'm not trying to push my belief onto others, but this is what I believe is right. Political strife and injustice happens everywhere, regardless of which country you're in. If you can name me ten countries where people are happier than we are, I can name you ten more who are the opposite. So stop comparing. Sure, we still have a ways to go as a country, but growth is good right? We as the new generation should step up to the plate and rise to the challenge.
After all, isn't it about time we get off our computer-chair bum and do something for this country?
Happy 51st Merdeka Day fellow countrypeople!
~Perpaduan Teras Kejayaan~
Ta'ra!

Ask an Afghan why he loves his country, it would not be because they are oil-rich or because they have finally been rid of the Taliban. Who cares if they are living in a warzone and risk getting killed any minute of the day, yet these people still love their country. This is the kind of patriotism that everyone should embrace.
Therefore, to answer my own question: Why do I love Malaysia? I love Malaysia unconditionally. There is no specific reason why I should love my country. It is enough that I was born here, that this country gave me citizenship amd rights. Even if you threaten me with a wok's ass (or confiscate my mykad with said wok's ass) I will still love my country. You could say my love is filial, like how you should love parents just because they are your parents.
It's simple and uncomplicated. I love Malaysia simply because I was born here and Malaysia is my home, regardless of how hot it gets and how much I want to migrate to a cooler country, in the end I'll have my body buried in Malaysian soil anyway. I'm not trying to push my belief onto others, but this is what I believe is right. Political strife and injustice happens everywhere, regardless of which country you're in. If you can name me ten countries where people are happier than we are, I can name you ten more who are the opposite. So stop comparing. Sure, we still have a ways to go as a country, but growth is good right? We as the new generation should step up to the plate and rise to the challenge.
After all, isn't it about time we get off our computer-chair bum and do something for this country?
Happy 51st Merdeka Day fellow countrypeople!

Confessional
Here are my ten confessions for your amusement. Please enjoy.
1. I am addicted to yaoi. I like them mostly for the fanservice.
2. I was a fan of Sailormoon then, and I am still now.
3. I am not racist. But I believe people are allowed to have favorites. It just happens they are not mine.
4. My Little Pony is still one of my favorite cartoons. I've been thinking that the next time I'm in Singapore I will go to Toys'R'Us and buy a VCD.
5. I think all Naruto fans are retarded. Sorry.
6. I just started my Japanese class and I find our sensei more interesting than the class itself. My intention coming to class is to just see her.
7. I am a pretty misguided person. I won't say I support gay marriages but I think that when two adults commit to each other, it's nobody else's business.
8. I think everyone who says "I wish I was back in high school" needs to seriously get a life. Okay, what I really think is "you suck".
9. In highschool, I put up with people I don't like because I was afraid of being alone and without friends. Now that I think back, I never needed them in the first place anyway.
10. I hate people just because they have buck teeth, a big nose, or wear tacky clothes. I dont care if they are kind or generous or have a really great personality. I am a prejudice, so who cares if we become friends or not.
There. I started my first Japanese class today and was 15 minutes late too thanks to our over enthusiastic lecturer. I was panting and out of breath when I finally got to class. Sheesh.
Watashiwa-san and Nadja went back to Norway. Now there's nobody to go porn hunting together and induce me to spend hundreds of ringgit on instant gratification. And the taxis just won't stop for me at KLCC anymore. T_T. I'll come visit soon!
Owari!

Relief
A couple of days ago, I was out! D:
Nothing but empty boxes and used candy wrappers! I was frantic. How could FOUR boxes of Geisha be finished in TWO WEEKS?!
So I sent daddyo an SOS as he was coming back from KL and I happily got some refills. xDDDD

I am happy xD.
Geishas are annoyingly addictive little bastards. It can only be purchased at KLIA and nowhere else. Don't even try to look. I already did the legwork for you.
Wheee Geisha! Life is meaningful again. Ta'ra! :D

Holiday Blues
It's the holidays so let's seeee what I did.
I chopped my hair, I went on a movie marathon, I went shopping, I do chores, I fast, I exercise, and I eat and sleep till kingdom come.
The movie marathon was especially fun. It started Tuesday night and progressed to Thursday and progressively had more people. At first it was only Totchi and I. Then, Totchi, Ezra and I. And then Totchi, Ezra, Sponge and I. We watched, in order of succession, Kung Fu Panda, Incredible Hulk and Made of Honor. Next week we will watch Get Smart. Movies are fun.
And yes, shorter hair is definitely easier to handle. Before I felt like I was hanging on to three years of my life. I do not like hanging on to the past and it felt like unrequited baggage. Having chopped them off and letting new hair grow feels so liberating. I am tempted to keep it at this lenght, which is above the shoulder, but try different styles. Got a good deal at the usual place. Chopping is fun.I want to make it a habit to chop every six months or so. It's good therapy you know.
despite it being the holidays, Kuja has been working non-stop. I was really inspired and the story practically writes itself. I started another series and so far had five stories. I found it easier to do a story when it is cut into several small chapters to concentrate on. Kuja only got turned off twice since about two weeks ago and both was due to a localized black out hehehe. I wanted to harrass Mull or Kujong this holiday but I left Kujong in KL and since I haven't got a decent copy of FFXII yet there's no point in playing it since it's only going to get stuck again. I seriously need to get my ass to Singapore soon.
Mull has since stayed a virgin.
sighs.
Somehow I can't wait to go back to KL and get my hands on some porns. Free porns are so mafan. On that note, I'm going to attend a Japanese course properly now. The center is at KL Plaza and I shall register for their Saturday class. Hopefully I wont have any Saturday class this sem. I never had, though this being my final year I hope nothing funny happens.
Well that's all I have to ramble for now. Ta'ra!

:D
It's not that I was too sad to blog or anything. My connection kept being crappy on me. I guess paying late on purpose is not helping either.
Anyway, exams are over!
Last paper was on Friday. After that Khaye invited me over for lunch, which we ate about 4 hours later. sighs. Before I left that night, Khaye and Mary played with my veil. Much fun.
The next day we went to the zoo. Honestly speaking, it bored me out, but Khaye wanted to see tigers. The lions greeted her well. They raised their heads and stared in interest at her when we passed by. They can recognize people from back home it seems.
Yesterday, my dad came by for a surprise visit but ended up getting surprised himself - by the state of the house which would put a shipwreck to shame. He was not supposed to come and I was not supposed to clean. I was supposed to clean today. But I ended up cleaning yesterday, which frees up today to go shopping. Err wait, it's already 2 am, so today is Tuesday...I am going back to Kuching today. Oooh plans all lined up. In addition, the sponge promises to go out with me. And Totchi. But that is just a technicality. The sponge will go out with me.
I haven't packed and my flight is at 12:55 pm. I plan to leave at 10 am. It's no longer cool to leave home 2 hours before the flight. Even if you arrive with a one hour margin and fully acceptable for check in, the line will keep you occupied up to 15 mins before the flight which is not cool. I don't like waiting in lines and I want to eat. 2 hours should be fine since too early and the gate won't even open yet.
Today I got Sarah her birthday presents. In fact, coming back to Kuching, I seem to carry a lot of presents. Birthdays from February to July are all accumulated to this month. Birthdays from August to October will get prezzies in October and November and December in December. Jan I leave again for new sem and so on. Despite my lack of wrapping skills, I like wrapping them up. I even got myself a present; a 1000 pieces One Piece puzzle. I always wanted a really cool puzzle as a present. It would keep me crazy and occupied this holiday.
On another note, I am feeling like such a slave to my hair. I am tempted to go cut it the moment I reach Kuching. Straight to the saloon from the airport. My ying yang is balanced. Now if only I would get rid of all the excess hair.
I am suddenly very hungry. See you guys in Kuching. Ta'ra! :D

A Moment In Time
May 22nd, 4:35 pm.
The world seemed to stop for me for a moment. First I was happily laughing off at my own stupidity for forgetting to check the exam schedules in my own docket, and the next I got a phone call that made the docket seemed so far away. In an instant I was torn.
I wanted to go home, but I had exams and exams was way more important. I called up my cousin who was in KL and we both asked each other the same question "did you hear the news?". I could hear the torrent of activity going on behind her as her sister and husband scrambled for tickets for the earliest flight possible. At their urgency, I made up my mind. I wanted to go home. I had to go home.
Luckily, not only was I the only one able to get a flight home the same night, but I even secured a return ticket on Sunday night, just before a paper on Monday afternoon. Three days were plenty of time to study for a paper. Logic prevails even in the most stressful situations. A trait, I believed, I must have inherited from her.
By the time I got to her house late that night, the guests were already preparing to leave and she was washed and bundled, ready for burial. It was painful having to see her finally answering her call but it was reassuring to know that she had passed swiftly and without hassle. Yes, she was prepared. Fiercely independent, she did not want to be a nuisance even in death. I even declared later the next day I should strive to be like her.
She looked peaceful, as if she was just in her usual afternoon naps and didn't want to be disturbed. I didn't know what to say then. Usually I'd go "how are you?" If I did that she would have figuratively rolled her eyes and said "how do you think I am?". The thought of saying farewell didn't occur to me then. Saying 'I am back' was stupid too. It wasn't like she was waiting for me.
So I did what any good Muslim is expected to do. I sat by her coffin and recited the Yasin for her. I took a long hard look at the coffin, now covered with a long piece of clothe embroided in Quranic verses. I had seen these 'blankets' three times before and all, those three times, seemed so close to each other. They were people that I wasn't personally close to, but they meant a lot to other people. As much as my grandma was to me.
It wasn't unexpected. In fact, when I took a video recording of her the night of my dad's birthday, I was already thinking if this would be the last footage of her alive? But I remained optimistic. I was even already imagining her meeting my future husband and if she disapproved of my choice I would dump him immediately no questions asked. If he was not good enough for my grandma he was not enough for me. Boyfriends you can find, but family is irreplacable.
During her burial the next day, I saw the toughest of our cousins broke down like a baby. She will be deeply missed, no doubt about it.
But I was still feeling pretty anal. I had wanted to come back quickly before she was wrapped up so I could at least kiss her hand as my last respect. But when I did come back I couldn't even bring myself to touch her. It didn't feel too good leaning over a coffin is it?
They say the soul of the newly deceased stays on earth for the first 100 days of their death. The first 7 days they will be at home, quietly observing the going ons so it was common to catch glimpses of them sometimes. This is what Muslim believes. And they say if you dream about them during the same time, given that they do not utter a word, as the dead cannot speak, then yes, it is the same person. If you dream and the newly deceased spoke to you, then it is just a dream.
I had a dream that Sunday, when I'm supposed to leave for KL later that day. It was one of my weird dreams, and one of those strange situations where you know this is all just a dream. It was a wedding of a relative and I saw her. She smiled and offered her hand to me. I kissed and hugged her, finally able to say the word I couldn't say before. I finally bid her goodbye and woke up crying.
My uncle once said that when the deceased visits you in your sleep it means they want you to offer a prayer for them. A prayer is food for their spirit. Just one prayer can keep them satisfied for a long time. So imagine if you give them a lot of prayers. From then on I decided to pray for her everyday. And during those days I can't, I will tell someone else to do it. I will not let my grandma be deprived.
After the fourth day however, I can't seem to get too sad anymore. It was as if that pool of emotion that seemed to overflow at the very thought of her had dried up. This whole experience had left me feeling dazed for days. The only thing keeping me sane was the thought of my impending exams. I am reminded of her everytime exam comes, because I visit her every night before leaving to KL for the new semester. She would slip me some pocket money and reminded me to study hard. It was always the same advise and reminder each time. It would mean a lot to her if I succeed in my studies and I felt guilty whenever I turned up only above average grades. The grades didn't matter to me but it was the only proof I got to show that I was serious about my studies.
Not that she checked my results, but my dad would be relieved to know I was doing well and that would give her peace of mind too.
So I forgone the mass sleepover at her house in order to prepare for my exams. It was the logical and practical thing to do and she would have approved. I can just imagine her spirit scolding me for slacking in my studies if I stayed there xD.
For now all I could do is offer her my prayers and gaze longingly at my 'Precious Granny Funds' that I still had that she had wrapped in tissue paper, in a white envelope. There won't be anymore of these so I can only treasure what I have left.
For now. -Alfatihah.

Obligations
I should be studying. But I have too much time. Too much time makes me want to procrastinate.
I visited my long-neglected Friendster account yesterday, just to see what's up. I've been contemplating taking it down for a long time now. But of course, something so popular couldn't just be ignored could it? After all, it's my biggest online social circle since I have only like, 3 people on Multiply. And please don't add me, so I don't have to reject you. My Multiply network is pretty private.
So anyway, with still so many active members on Friendster, I might as well just put up some new pictures for your amusement. So I put the rest of my birthday pictures up. Recent pictures make the page look fresh eh?
I exercised yesterday and nearly died from the effort. I am so unfit. Now I'm being bombarded full blast with soreness. Fun.
I need to clean house, but I'm procrastinating. I so wanna go shopping tomorrow. to TAR road you know. Very pasar minggu. But I need to update my wardrobe, in addition to other things. I don't wanna be so stuck in the past. For God's sake I'm 21. I should act my age. I am only 21 for a year. Next year I'll be 22. And the next 23 aaargh this is depressing. So yeah. I don't wanna be so stuck in the past.
Lately I noticed an increased number of books on my bed. It's normal to have the odd comics but last night I counted a total number of five books! Two comics, two non-fictions and one notebook. Of course, not counting the books on the dressing table which is not exactly a dressing table, but the top of a low wardrobe. This may not be weird under normal circumstances. But this isn't a normal circumstance because my bedroom and workstation are two separate entities here. At home my bedroom is everything; my sleeping chamber, my refuge, my library, my workstation and my play station. I sometimes even pull off cardio aerobics there. My workstation is out in the living room here where my desk and Kuja sit. Therefore having books in the bedroom meant I needed a bedtime read.
...Or I am in one of my insecure panic modes...
The latter is probably true, looking at the titles...
I like going to bed feeling that I've accomplished something, you know? Be it a new idea, another assurance, another money-making scheme or whatever it is related to the Internet and money. Mobility would be the new buzzword of my future. I don't know about you guys. But I don't like going further up the hierarchy only to have more work piled on me.
But the best of luck for you guys who do, though.
I have some stuff to do. Shower, write some birthday cards and maybe wrap a few presents. Finding boxes are hard. I want plain boxes so I can prettify them with wrapping paper you know. Despite my sucky wrapping skills, I like to wrap. I'm a Taurus. Stability and practicality are my embedded qualities in addition to enjoying to do things with my hands. It frees up space in my head to concentrate on other things.
Ta'ra!

Deprived, Yet Lives
Nah, deprived is the least of my current state. I just got back from a shopping spree at KLCC with my cousin. And she bought a lot of make up. And very persuasive at that. I fear for my wallet T-T.
Anyway, have you heard of the brand Benefit at Parkson? It's really good. Pricey, but good. Price is a good indicator of quality.
Daddyo admitted himself in hospital last Thursday due to some stomach pain (turned out to be high blood pressure again). I was woken up at 5:30 am to accompany him to the medical center in Bangsar, after just two hours of sleep and could only go back home at about 9 am. Sighs. Anyway, he checked out the next day and immediately took a flight home.
In the mean time, I slept over at my cousin's. Was pretty last minute too. I slept on the couch for two nights. But the couch was comfy and the boldster was longer than my lover. Very nice. I felt like a traitor but it's all for the sake of comfort.
I initially followed them home to claim my souvenir. They recently came back from the U.S. you see. My cousin's husband is a diplomat.
Anyway, last night was full of drama. Her friends suddenly dropped by and started bitching intensively about her ex. She talked non stop about her ex and how a hypocritical ugly bithc just stole him despite him not loving her. I was pretty much in the company of a bunch of psycho ex-girlfriends it was amusing. Turned out last night was her ex and his fiance's wedding. Details shall fall onto to the deserving ears hehehehe.
I am still in exam season, but my next papers are on the 26th, 27th and 30th so I have the whole of next week off. Of course, I have to study and make notes. But there's plenty of stuff for other things too. I recently bought a Let's Learn Hiragana workbook. I've been wanting to learn Japanese since forever. I am already en route to joining a Japanese course at a language center at KL Plaza (In August, hopefully). My goal is to take the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. I want to have a certificate to officially certify that I am proficient in Japanese you see. My goal, other than to speak is to read and write. Thus, the book. It doesn't hurt to get a head start isn't it?
I left my camera at my cousin's place so I cant upload pictures yet. Later, k?
I know this will bore you but I wanna talk a bit about my exam strategies. There are two sections. A and B. Section A is a case study and carries 40 marks. Section B is essay. Answer 3 out of 5 questions, carries 60 marks. Immediately, I went into damage reduction-profit maximization mode. I attacked the essay questions, picking out the ones I can answer fully. Then I made outlines, pouring out the content of my brains on the questions. Instantly I gained 60 marks. It usually takes more or less 45-50 minutes to do one essay question because they are that elaborate. So by the time I get to section A, I'm already in the last hour of the paper. Because section A requires reading, I do it last because it required thinking and connecting concepts. In both my papers I managed to answer 3 out of 5 questions in Section A, which means I always lose out on two questions. But that is okay.
Last semester I made the mistake of mulling over too long at Section A and not having enough time on Section B even though I know the answers. That was the mistake. You should answer what you could first. Save the hardest for last. The thing is, I wanted to answer all the questions, and I didn't want to have to go back to answer the hard question. So I spent the first two hours in Section A and ....got what I deserved.
Lesson learned.
I even prepared a notebook for all my notes, just like during SPM. I put all my notes into one book so I just have to read from that book. There's no point to study too much or too far from exams because our lecturers give precise tips. If you deviate away from the tips, you are just wasting time. 2-3 days are optimal for me. When other people say they are going away to study and you should too, they are just trying to pysche you up. Because, not that I want to brag, but I always did better than them, and I studied only like, 2 days. If not two hours. I really dont like studying. sighs.
Those people at the library for long hours are just wasting time. They just want to show off that they are studying hard. Just like during those long pointless hours of group discussions, those studies eventually go down the drain as well.
Losers. As if I will sink to your level! Same goes for the bastard doormat cangkul.
Well. I am satisfied. Tomorrow I shall spring clean! Ta'ra!

Ying Yang Imbalances
The moment the uephoria subsided, I was hit hard by impure forces making my yingyang go askew. And it has just recently went on the road to recovery T-T.
Mistress of the Leash and Whip of all Fucking Verbal Abuses (MotLaWoaFVA) gave good advice. Now my ying yang is recovering.
It's all the fault of finals and assignments purposely stacked on top of it. Grrr I hate procrastinating lecturers. I'm even thinking of chopping my hair. Normally when I chop I just get a new haircut, all the way above the shoulders. Then I would feel happy and satisfied for about two weeks and then went back to craving long hair. And then I start making weird goals like keeping my hair long till I graduate. sighs.
See? it's my yingyang. But I finished one essay today so my yingyang is 50% recovered. I am hungry andd needs to eat. But shwoer first. And I am seriously considering going for the chop. Long hair is so boring. It's different if you don't cover up. But when you do, the upkeep is annoying. And the amount of shampoo you use is amazing as well. I want to start using smaller amounts of shampoo T-T.
Ta'ra!

"Prezen?"
After harrassing other people to celebrate their birthday just so I can eat cake, my hour finally arriveth. And aye, I never take my cake for granted. If I was in Kuching, it would be Bing's Mars Bbar Cheesecake, but alas, this is KL and only Starbucks' marble cheesecake can come close. So Starbucks it was!Some may say that I can't wait until today to turn 21 that I just had to hold a party earlier. I do not deny, nor do I admit this statement. XD
I booked for 12 people at the Secret Recipe Bukit Bintang, but in actuality I was only expecting 7 friends to come, including myself 8. It was my dad who blew up the fugures. Some people canceled out, but in the end, my family arrived to fill the gap. My parents, my aunt and uncle. Motherhood was just in town for one night though, to attend a launching ceremony or some sort.
Here are the crazy people who decided it was safe to attend my gathering.
These three were non-stop entertainment (to themselves) the whole time.
Farida came with her homie. I met her the previous day when I went over to see to the kitties. I thought she would come with her cousin, but I think her homie is better. She didn't talk much, and I fear we might have bored her. But oh well. Can't please everyone.
Khaye and Mary came the latest (as usual) due to the oversleeping drama. They are both pinching my fat thigh 'to get a rection'. I know my thighs are fat la...T-T
I know people are always curious about their hair, so I put out in the open immediately. Here is Mary, explaining that her cornrows are real and how she made them. The expression on my uncle's face is priceless...
This is just before I blow the candles out. I made them sing me 'happy birthday' before that of course. Normally I am averse to such public cliche, but who cares. I only get people to sing me happy birthday only once a year!
Can you believe that motherhood is turning 50 this 26th? And yes, Khaye's hair makes an excellent came-whoring prop. xD

This is my spoils for the day.
A Ghibli Movie collection DVD Watshiwa-san got for me xD.
Hyde on the card looks like a squid xDDD.Today is my actual birthdate and I missed my stop on the bus because I fell asleep. sighs. Went all the way to Kotaraya, took a train to KL Sentral and then took the monorail to BB. I bought myself an eye shimmer to commemarate the day, but the lost of my specs is as good as any commemaration. I shall go buy a pair tomorrow. And maybe another eye shimmer. I bought a pink one today, which was half the price it originally was, and tomorrow I'll buy a more flesh colored one xDDD. Make up is fun...
So that is all for my birthday report. Daddyo said he's coming sometime end of this week to have my brithday dinner. It's a tradition. Maybe I'll have thandoori this year. *drools*Ta'ra!
Oh, before I forgot, "prezen?" xD
Someone decided that it's not enough to get my one strap, so she gave me two handphone straps. Maybe hoping that I would lay off hers from now on. Thank you SGWSS!

Tri-city Run Around
Yesterday was fun. I went to Shah Alam to visit my friend and her brood of cats.
This is mainly because my friends from Puchong wanted to adopt one of her kitties. My friend lives in a flat and could only afford the mother, Che'Mong. Funny name...
However, the all-black kitty in the middle here, adores him. He follows Pumpkin everywhere, like an apprentice looking up to his role model. I fear this kitty's future...
This is mainly because my friends from Puchong wanted to adopt one of her kitties. My friend lives in a flat and could only afford the mother, Che'Mong. Funny name... So like it or not, she has to give away the kitties. They may be cute now, but soon they will be financially unfavorable to a student living on a tight budget.
The four of them together. After playing with them for the good part of the day, my friends finally decided on the black one with white socks. It is aptly nicknamed "Jumper" for now or "Jumpa" because she likes jumping a lot.
The four of them together. After playing with them for the good part of the day, my friends finally decided on the black one with white socks. It is aptly nicknamed "Jumper" for now or "Jumpa" because she likes jumping a lot.It was a close race between Jumpa and "Princess" Panadol. This is the owner's favorite and she will only give her away to the most deserving. She is easily the most beautiful of the brood, an apparent 'princess-type' of kitty. I wasn't sure why my friends didn't pick her. They preferred Jumpa because she was more active.
This is Toe Sucka. He is the smallest, yet the most active. It reminds me of that small boy in class with the annoying face every girls love to hate because he is simply obnoxious.
Toe Sucka at work. He licks, then scratches and bites. There are better scratching poles you know...
This is Pumpkin. My friend's roomie's cat. Pumpkin is a very docile and submissive male. He is cross-eyed and has a long body like a sausage dog. He may be bigger than Che'Mong, but he is a big freaking coward. Che'Mong owns his ass. What you have here is the cat version of a cangkul, really.

Pumpkin is like that geek that tries to hide his big bulk in an obscured corner of the house. Most of the time, he'll be hiding behind the washing machine or the desk and all you see of him is half of his face. I mean seriously, it tried to 'slink' away in the middle of the room! How stupid can you get?
However, the all-black kitty in the middle here, adores him. He follows Pumpkin everywhere, like an apprentice looking up to his role model. I fear this kitty's future...We bought all the stuff for the cat from a pet shop nearby. After that we left for Puchong to the cat's new home. It was amazing how we managed to get there in record time because of our reluctant but very efficient driver. But the trip to KL was hampered by massive jams.
I had a dinner appointment with Totchi and Ezra later that night but I was a good one hour late for it. I'm sorry T-T...
Totchi dressed up very nicely last night and we all forgot to take pictures!!!
I feel like an out of place kid next to her...
Oh, I wished we could have talked longer. Its because I had already asked daddyo to send Totchi back to her hotel that night. That hotel is at an obscured corner of China Town, you see...
But it was incredibly fun talking, catching up on each other and uh, old stories revisited xD.
Today I'm holding a birthday gathering at Secret Recipe BB so all who's been invited...you guys better come!
I know, it's a little early since my birthday is really 22nd April next Tuesday. But you know, the next weekend's date is further from my actual birthday than this one :D.
So, Ta'ra!

Suckers
Aaahh highschool. How I was glad to be rid of it.
A few of the highschool couples I know are still together, surprisingly. Good for them. I am not into the whole dating your classmate thing. Even now...
Around mid last year or so I went home for the semester break and stumbled onto some old schoolmates. I was genuinely surprised and curious as this one was our old class monitor. And when we were in form 2 he had a terrible crush on my friend which the whole class ended up knowing about. I even read his confession letter which was hilarious. I still remember that letter whenever I see him. It's just too bad he had prolly forgotten about it. It would have been fun to have him squirming in embarassment each time I see him and the thought of the letter occured to him.
But guys. They have such bad memories.
During that little encounter, I asked for his cell number. I was tired of having "old friends" texting me out of the blue without disclosing who they were. So I made a point to update as much numbers as possible. And I know our ex-class monitor was one of those who change numbers often. I tried that number that night, making sure he was saving my right number too. It was right. I texted him for a while after that, just catching up on old times.
I'm sorry, I really was just using him to get information on the others. Harmless gossip, nothing more. xD
So anyway...a few nights later, he "randomly" sms'd people out of boredom. I replied back because well, I was free. He was "surprised" because I was the only one who replied. But I didn't like his tone. He was in the middle of a romantic chasm and I hated it. I turned the tone a good 360 on the next text!
The chasm disappeared in an instant.
No way is he going to consider me a potential "mate". I do not date classmates and he couldn't afford me anyway. He had just broken up with his girlfriend, at the "expense" of my close friend so no way was he getting any mercy from me.
It amazed me how he even thought of trying. It made me feel insulted too, in a way. I have been looked down as level as those other girls who would hook up with a guy by just a couple of sweet words. It didn't matter if the guy had the face of a wall.
A pathetic attempt. Expected of a pathetic moron.
I went on a field trip to Ipoh to visit my friend there during the Chinese New Year holidays. Imagine my contempt when I found out he was smsing my friend asking for her advice on a girl! Somehow I am very protective of this friend because she has a history of being too nice to people and some people took advantage of her (back off, I'm the only one who's allowed to do that to her, okay?! I mean come on, if she's too busy attending to other people, what about my needs? I ha to defend my rights you know). Besides, she was in the middle of reading a very intriguing manga and it was criminal disturbing people when they are engrossed like that!
So check this out. He said there was this girl in his class who "challenged him to tackle her". I mean, WTF! WHY DO YOU NEED TO BOTHER MY FRIEND ABOUT SOMETHING SO STUPID ANYWAY?! IS HE TRYING TO SAY HE'S SO POPULAR THAT THERE'S A GIRL WHO'S CHALLENGING HIM TO TACKLE HER?!
Without really asking for permission, I took my friend's phone and replied in her stead. I told him that the girl was just playing with him and she already liked him. He said he wasn't "sure" if he should pursue it or not. I told him if he doesn't like her, don't pursue it. The main issue is that: she likes him, but does he like her back? Yeah, she's cute, but is that all? Guys can be so shallow.
In the end I basically told him to go fuck himself. Well okay, not literally. I was still "my friend" he doesn't know it was me. He must be wondering why my friend was suddenly so mean. I didn't remember what his conclusion, but if I'm not mistaken, he decided to take the middle path. At least for now. Apparently the girl has had a crush on him since last year. Yeah like I care.
But above all I was surprised how my friend was his crying place when he and his previous girlfriend broke up. I would have confronted him about it if I had had the time or opportunity. Bastard.
Suckers should just drop dead and stop wasting oxygen.

Annoyances
This highschool junior of mine just graduated from high school and is frantic about his future univeristy life. His solution: annoys me by acting like he knows better.
sighs.
He is annoying me. Like, WTF. I am only telling him the truth. If he doesn't believe go and ask people who have been there damnit.
Matriks are crap, you can go into UIA even if you fail Arabic (what about all those people who didnt even take the subject?) and no, 4% is not a high interest rate for your education.
being over-cautious is just as bad as being careless.
I am really tired of this "my future learning options" talk.
sighs.

Saturday Blues
Is there such a thing? Saturday should be a good day isn't it?
This sem, I have a three day weekend. I got the same previous sem, only that I have Monday off. This sem its Friday.
I normally do not like to go out on Fridays. For neccesities I mean, like food and stuff. I prefer to go out Saturday because I am reeling in from the schoolweek on Fridays. I have incompetent and bias and racist lecturers which made me bear the brunt of their mood swings. I know I am hot and competent and so far superior in intelligence compared to them, but don't blame me. They are the teachers. I'm just a student.
I've been going out on Saturdays these last two weeks to catch up on some movies. I have missed so much movies. I almost missed Horton. Glad I finally caught it on its final week! Next I wanna watch Ironman and Kung Fu Panda! Today I managed to catch 27 Dresses, and it was awesome...
Daddyo is coming on Monday and tomorrow Totchi leaves for Singapore. She'll be in KL next weekend whee! Finally there's someone who wants to go on an outing with me T_T.
Daddyo coming means I have to clean house tomorrow. I no likey clean house. I may also have to go out for food again tomorrow since as of yesterday our gas has been cut...coz we haven't been paying the bills xD. It's more like...we don't know how to pay.
Anyway, Totchi and I started a fangirls bashing blog called Bitches pwns Morons. This is a formal way to fight back against those stupid fangirls.
By the way, I wrote a summary on Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony. Please visit and give me a 5 star rating. Thank you XD.
Ta'ra!

By the way, I wrote a summary on Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony. Please visit and give me a 5 star rating. Thank you XD.
