Stumbled upon this song by one of Malaysia's talented singer songwriter, Yuna. It's basically about backstabbing done by her best friend... I think. But the words in the lyrics were really powerful. Maybe cause I could relate to it. I mean, every one must have felt being backstabbed by someone they really care and love at one part of their life. Sucks eh? But well, I guess that's life. The most important thing is that we learn from it and it makes us a much more stronger person. Enjoy the song!
I stood by you I didn't have to And if I knew I'd go away
I'm not like you I don't backstab My dear you should be better than that
Sorry if I never called and you did but you know, you know you don't really have to I try to come around, come around you All you really gave, you really gave back was hatred
I gave you my all back then When ever you needed me Your lies they cut through my skin When ever I reach for you... for you... for you...
I'm not like you I don't backstab My dear you should be My best friend...
Sorry if I never called and you did but you know, you know you don't really have to I try to come around, come around you All you really gave, you really gave back was hatred
I gave you my all back then When ever you needed me Your lies they cut through my skin When ever I reach for you... for you...
Hello earthlings! I am now back to the blogging world. I have realized now that by pushing aside my love for
writing crap it has made me somewhat a more stressful person. And for that I am rekindling my passion for writing by posting this not so important piece of writing. Bear with me oh earthlings!
Sincerely yours,
Stressed out me.
And with that I announce my much unanticipated return to this blog! So, prepare to be blown away by more merepekness!
Updates since I last wrote. Seriously? Hmm... well, how about we go doing a list of things:
I've got a brand spanking new guitar! Wuhuuu!!! It's an Epiphone electro acoustic guitar which I named Johnny and which I am soooooo in love with! Here's a picture of it! =)
I am in love with medicine again! Somewhere between me stopping to write in here, there was a time when I guess I was a bit worn out with it and it took a bit of a push for me to fall back in love with it and it comes from my dad (he's my biggest hero!) and it's something that I am going to be eternally grateful for... Thanks Dad for making me remember why I did it in the first place.
I have less teeth now. Got my wisdom tooth taken out. And not to scare any of you who are going to get it extracted, but it hurts so freaking bad! Like seriously, I'd rate it 15/10. And to think I had it done the day of my Med Ball (it's a grand dinner for all medical students). I looked so silly smiling crookedly and with a large bump on my left cheek. Ridiculous...
Me being me, I'm gonna stop now. Cause this is not fun at all. And I don't want to bore you guys with loads more. But I'll definitely be back! Don't you worry... Got loads on my mind that I wanna talk about! Hihihihi...
Ok, seriously I've like abandoned this blog and have been updating my Flickr more often. So, if you've missed me... (which I think not many of you will. Haha...) just visit my Flickr! =)
Malas sungguh nak tulis sekarang. Kenapa entah... Huhu...
Summer's here and it seems like everything's coming to an end. All the TV shows have finished their seasons. Some are coming back, some are really over (Prison's Break's finally done and over with. Can't believe they killed Michael off! Not fair...!) My seniors just got their results yesterday (or was it 2 days ago. Naahh... Who cares exactly when) and they all passed their exams, meaning they're all doctors!(I think... Tak pe, at this point, they're all doctors in my eyes! =P) Wuhuu..! Congrats to them! (now I can't wait for my time to come. 3 more years InsyaAllah... 3 more loooong years... *sigh*). So, everyone was super excited and were happy for each one of them that they've all finally finished their medic student years (well, at least in med school. Learning's a lifelong thing right, so you'd never be done with learning. Ok, that sounds kindda depressing for a bit. Huhu...) Owh, and the summer exams are all over (well, for the majority of us anyway. Some friends I have who are studying in Germany are having their exams in July---> ridiculous right?).
But, the starting of summer also marks the start of a whole lot of new things! It's the start of the summer holidays. Everyone seems to be scrambling to travel everywhere (amidst the scare of the Swine flu). My housemates (yes, all of em!) just left for Italy, leaving lo and behold, me, alone for a whole week! And yes, I'm starting to feel bored... And yes, that's why I'm writing... (gila tak ikhlas. LOL) Then, there's the thing about me moving and yeah, I've just only started to pack my stuff (no surprise there huh?) and seriously, I gave up about 10 minutes ago because it was too much. Haiihh... Why in the world did I buy this much stuff?? Besides moving houses and all, summer also could be the start of... Hmm... I've got nothing else. Sorry, otak lembap sikit.
Anyway, the only point of me writing this entry was to congratulate my seniors on their results. Congrats korang! Now go and take a long break or something, you guys deserve it! =) Ok, back to watching "How I Met Your Mother"! Happy holidays everyone!
I just sold my first ever guitar... The guitar I have used since I came here, which means we've been rocking together for 3 whole years! Heck, that's the longest running relationship I have ever had with anything (friends not included. Huhu...) !
Anyway, it's kindda sad that I have to let it go. But upgrade is necessary and I don't really need two guitars at the same time(I already have one back in Malaysia, so, there's really no point in hanging on to this one. Can't be greedy.. =P). But, yeah, it's kindda sad. This is the guitar that I've played since 2006. The first time I came to Cork, Taq and I were pretty bored and we decided to just buy a guitar (tambah skill sikit) with no knowledge whatsoever on how to play it. Ok, so, I knew how to play "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam and "Kau ilhamku" by Man Bai when I was in KMB (thanks Nana ajarkan!). But I have no idea about the chords and everything. All I knew was that I wanted to learn how to play the guitar and the only way of learning was for me to buy one and practice, practice, practice....
So, there it was, I bought a Cort guitar (I have never even heard of this model, but according to the salesguy, it was the perfect guitar for beginners). So, I just snatched it and that started my journey of guitar playing. 3 years later, I could say that I am at least not an amateur guitarist anymore and could play almost all of my favourite songs (well not on expert level... Just good enough for people to hear =P)
*Ok, dah malas nak tulis panjang-panjang*
The point is, I'm gonna miss you my first ever guitar!!! The memories we had performing together would not be forgotten!! Don't worry, Nad would take care of you (I'll make sure of it!) *sekarang rasa psycho cakap sorang-sorang dengan benda tak hidup. Huhu...*
Hola! Guess who's back on the blogging world! =) Ok, so I was bored and needed to find something to do after laboring myself to Neuroanatomy just now. I had played my guitar, I watched an episode of The Simpsons and then it struck me...! Hey, I've been abondoning my blog for ages, why not write something up! So, here I am...! =P So, what have been happening since I last wrote?? A whole lot! Like for example, I've traveled to Spain and Scotland during my Christmas Break (wow... it's been that long since I last wrote huh??), I took Spanish as my special study module and now can speak a bit of it, not that good, but still can speak a bit of it, I've turned 23!! (owh maaaann, I'm sooo old!), I've won gold medal in futsal and soccer! (sports I've only learned to play recently. Hehe...), and soo much more things that have happened!
Anyway, I promised to write about the Spain and Scotland trip to my housemates who are insisting I write it up especially parts that are embarrassing or funny, but mostly embarassing... (most of them happened, surprise, surprise, to me of course. *sigh*) So, I guess I'll save that for later. Today, I just felt like writing about the returns of 2 of my fav show in Malaysia, One In a Million (OIAM) and Ghost (Wuhuuu...!!).
So, I was a bit late I guess on knowing that OIAM was back. I've just known about it last week, and it was already in their Top 4 stage. Nasib baik bukan tau after it was finished and all kan. Hehe... Anyway, I guess the hot topic for this year's OIAM obviously is the fact that the once "sengau" boyband singer, Tomok, is on the show. And yes, I have to be honest, I was one of the few sceptics of how he would fare, but after seeing his performance, especially covering songs such as "Crazy In Love", "La, La, La Kerjalah" and "Aku Cinta Padamu" I have to admit, I was impressed! His voice has lost all of the "sengau''ness and it was kind of entertaining to see him (a bit dramatic at times, but hey, a bit of drama never kills right?). But yeah, I guess he's slowly regaining my respect as an entertainer (tapi sumpah mende chain yang dangling kat dienye seluar tu cam semak gleee! Nak gak cakap tu. Huhu...) and I guess I have to sincerely applaud my junior, S, for believing in Tomok, even when he was in his ''sengau'' heydays. Syabas S! Tak sia-sia anda melalak "Sejarah Mungkin Berulang" beribu-ribu kali. But thankfully, sejarah tidak berulang and he has changed. Huhu... Anyway, my vote on who would win the 1 million? I'd probably say Esther(the only girl left in the competition! *gasp*). She has this great voice and creativity that just oozes 1 million ringgit quality. And besides, a part of me just feels like a non-artist should be winning this. Owh, but this year's season I think really is one of the best so far. My personal fav was Amelia, but too bad (spoiler alert!!) she was voted off last week. Anyway, I can't wait to see who wins it though.
Owh, and I've just watched Ghost 2 yesterday. In case you guys haven't even heard of the series Ghost, go watch it! I think it's really one of those few quality Malaysian series that are really worth watching. Sorry laaa geng-geng SpaQ, saya kurang berminat dengan cerita drama series begitu. Huhu... Anyway, it has a new case opened, some rich lawyer's daughter was kidnapped and now they need to find her and with the help of a new ghost (yes, it's like "Ghost Whisperer'). Two of the original casts are back, Cheryl Samad and Naz. Other than that, the casts are all new and yes, I've never seen or heard of them before. But, the show looks promising, thankfully. I was actually dreading to see it, because usually when a successful series goes into it's 2nd season, they lose their first magic and the show would just be crappy but thankfully, Ghost 2 didn't let me down =) Owh, and guess what, since Nas-t would not be in this series anymore, there's a replacement for him, it's Anding who plays Alam who's a very unique, funny and yes, most importantly, cute character!
Ok, that's all I want to babble for now. Promise I won't disappear for another month before writing again! =P Till then, happy studying or holidaying, whichever continent you're living in! =)
I've been such a sucky friend. I know... I don't message that often, I don't call, heck, I don't even go online that frequently (or at least not when most of my friends are online anyway). So, yeah, I think I owe all my friends an apology for being such a lousy friend. It's just that this semester has been totally hectic. I can't even stop to catch a breather and I seriously need one now. *sigh* It just strucked me when two of my best friends told me the same thing: Saying they really missed me and felt like it's been ages since I came back and it's been ages too since we talked. And now, I'm starting to feel the distance. Before this, I'm usually really not that busy and always have time to chat and catch up, so I don't really feel like being far away from them sucks that much(besides the not being able to hangout together part that is). Now, it's like there's not enough time to talk and catch up properly (what with the time difference and both people having all sorts of things to do at that time) and I'm missing out on a lot of new things that's happening in their lives(which is bad for a friend to not know). So, yeah, I'm sorry for being such a lousy friend. But, you guys still love me right?? =P Don't worry, when Summer time comes, I'm all yours! LOL
I'm worried about a lot of things these days. And worrying makes me a little bit anxious. And I don't like being anxious all the time coz it's annoying, it's like a nagging feeling that you just can't sit still with. And I don't really get anxious that easily but yeah, I am anxious most of the time these days. This definitely calls for some major break (ie traveling, retail therapy). The only problem is I can't really go on holiday and can't really go for retail therapy now because the exam is near (Worry Number 1). Yes, it's that time of year again. The time for self torture and caffeine/chocolate/(fill in with whatever fetish beverages you like) abuse. Haha... I make it sound like it's such a bad thing. Well, for me it is. I just hate exams (now, who doesn't, please kindly come here and take the exams for me). So, yeah, I'm worried about my exams. Not only for my Neuro papers but also for Spanish (DO NOT regret taking this. It'll be useful when you go to Spain. DO NOT regret taking this.... DO NOT *chant to myself*) and of course the Clinical Practice paper. But, I guess in the end just worrying about it and not doing anything to make sure that I get a decent result would just be a waste of time. So, come on! Get NERDing! =)
Worry Number 2: My parents are going to Hajj tomorrow and yes, I'm worried sick. I know they'll be in good hands and all but to just think that they'll be in a foreign place with loads of strangers... Well, it just worries me. Now, I guess I understand how my parents feel everytime they send me off here. I did pester them to get a SIM card each when they get there and message me everyday about their life there, but thats probably asking too much. They'll probably be busy most of the time anyway. So, I guess I can just pray (and ask you guys to pray for them as well) for their safe journey, pray that they won't be hindered by any sickness and everything would run smoothly for them. Amiin.
Which then brings us to worry number 3: Since my parents would be gone to Hajj, my youngest brother and sister would be placed under the care of my uncles and aunts. One of them wants to live in the kampung with my aunt because he likes being free and being able to do activities that you could only do properly in a kampung (ie: kejar ayam, lastik cicak, tengok telur ayam menetas, etc.) and the other one wants to live with my uncle in Ipoh because she has company there and she wants to learn the piano (or so she says) with her 13 year old cousin. So, since her brother knows her best and would not in his right mind leave her alone with our uncle and aunt in Ipoh(who would easily fall prey to her sweet persuasions to do things/buy things for her), they're going to spend half of the time in Ipoh and the other half in Changkat Jering (it's near Taiping for those of you who don't know). Why I'm worried exactly since they'll be in such good hands? Well, these two always fight, I mean, always! So, I guess I don't want them to fight all the time and trouble my aunts and uncles. Believe me, they're already a handful when they're not fighting. Huhu... But, maybe this little independence away from my parents should teach them to stick together for a change. We'll see...
Ok, that's probably enough jabbering for one post. Sorry again for not being a "Tegar Blogger" (as Nad puts it). Will put more effort into it! Promise! (and then, I go missing without any posts for a month. LOL). To all the people taking the exams, all da best! And to all the people who're on holiday (especially to those in Malaysia), dah dah, senyap-senyap je cuti tuh.. =P
Ok, just updating because I've gotta share this song with you guys. It's called Decode by Paramore. Totally cool! It's actually the soundtrack for Twilight, the most talked about movie opening soon based on the novel series of the same name. One of my classmate recommended me to read the book and watch the movie when it comes out. But, instead, I stumbled upon the soundtrack of the movie. Well, I've just listened to one of the song actually, so not the whole soundtrack anyway. Hehe...
Seriously, the song's like haunting me today. It's on repeat for the whole day! =P So, give it a listen!
Owh, and you could go to Paramore's official website to see the video.
And for you people who are guitar freaks, try playing it using this tab. I tried playing it. Sounds kind of similar. Bunyik die, when i tried playing nak dekat serupa macam ni laa... (the acoustic version, except takde piano and violin. Hahhaa.... Perasan gile. Owh, and of course laa my voice bukan cam suara Hayley kan. lagi merdu and lunak bak kata Di. Hahhaa.. Yeah right! Anway, the acoustic version is really awesome! Sila dengar. Ini arahan. LOL)

If I were to say that aloud, the majority of my friends would go out of their way to give me a slap! Seriously... Ok, maybe not literally. But, yeah, they'd definitely try to get me back to my senses for wanting to go back after only a few months back here. Huhu... Anyway, when I miss home, I'd watch things that remind me of it. Like listening to Yuna's EP every single day! Hahhaa... Pathetic, I know... Tapi nak buat camne! And just now, I was watching the trailer for KAMI the Movie. Haih~~ I soooo wanna watch it! Tapi cam harapan je it'll be released in Ireland anytime soon. Big Hollywood movies pun takes ages to be premiered here, apatah lagi cerita yang menggunakan bahasa asing.
For those of you who don't already know, I'm a huge fan of KAMI the series and of course Abu (played by Nas-T). So, it's only natural that I'd want to watch the movie right? Perlu la kan die premiere on the 1st day of Raya. Who in their right mind goes to the cinema during the 1st day of Raya?? Weird~~ So, anyway, enjoy the trailer while I go searching for other sources to channel my homesickness~~ It's really not that good a trailer, I think, but still wanna watch it because I wanna see how it compares to the series.
Owh, by the way, for those of you who keeps on asking, nooo, I won't be going back home anytime soon. Well, not planning to anyway... But who needs plans right? LOL.
Yeah, Hidayah... My name. Perfectly easy to say right?? Well, perfectly easy if our tongue's used to saying it correctly. Perfectly easy if we're used to saying long names. But, my name's not that long right? That's what we Malaysians and Arabs (because it does come from their language) think. But, according to my classmates and lecturers (who are mostly not well versed in Malay or Arabic), it's kind of a mouthful. Let me give you a few situations just so you can get the picture and feel me. LOL.
Situation 1: Every month, I have to go for a GP (General Practitioner) Attachment. It's where we go to the GP's clinic and meet up with their patients with certain diseases and do history taking and physical examination on them. It's done in groups of three. I haveDave (a Canadian) and Owen (an Irish) as my group mates. They're totally cool and we had never been in the same group before this so we all kind of just started knowing each other. So, as expected, during our first session, introduction was necessary right? So, everyone was telling each other their names. When it was my turn, I tried telling them as slowly and as clearly as possible, cause I was used to people not knowing how to pronounce it. So, I was going: "My name's Hi... da... yah..." They didn't have any problem repeating after me. So, I was really thrilled that they got it the first time! Then, after the session, we waited for the bus together and Dave was mumbling to himself: "Hidayah... Hidayah... Hidayah... Did I get it right?" He actually got to practice saying it a couple of times before getting it right. Hahah... Then, Owen suggested, "Can we just call you Hidi?" Obviously cause he didn't quite master it. LOL.
Situation 2: I took Spanish language as my extra module this semester. I've missed two classes before this because the fisrt class, I was still back in Malaysia and the second class, I had the GP attachment thing. So, I was totally lost during my first class! The lecturer was talking and teaching pretty fast and she was almost always talking in Spanish, which didn't make things any better. Then, we each had to answer her question about what we were planning to do during the weekend and also had to tell her our name. When it was my turn, I of course fumbled but managed to get through (phew~~) She asked (in very fast Spanish talk) my name. So, I answered, "Mi nombre es Hidayah" (I should've replied like this, but apparently I made some very weird sounds that sounded like this, but I made sure my name was pronounced correctly) Then, the lecturer made this very weird face... and she said: "Erm... Let's give you a more Spanish name.... Rosssssaa (make sure you stress the Ssss since that's how they pronounce it)" And the whole class was laughing! Sigh~~ And all throughout the class, of course laa kene ejek kan, lagi-lagi dengan si Bazli, Wany and Syedot. Haih~~ Then, after the class, the lecturer came and asked me to repeat my name again and yeah, she got it moderately right after a few tries. LOL. Apparently, it's kindda hard for her cause they don't really pronounce 'H' when speaking Spanish. So, that means my name's actually pronounced "Eeedayaaa".
Situation 3: Every week, I have tutorials in groups where we learn to do physical examinations regarding various complications. So, everyone was expected to know what should be done and should be able to answer the questions the instructors asks us. So, as we were working in groups of 7, we had to rotate between different stations and play out the different situations with the rest of the group mates or just answer the questions the instructors asks us regarding the various stations. We had this situation during one of the First Aid tutorials where a woman's head was bleeding and each one of us was asked how we'd handle it. The funny thing was, I was never asked anything, unless I voluntarily answered because the instructor picked us to answer questions by calling out our name from our name tags. She was staring at my name tag all throughout the session, but she never knew how to pronounce it I guess, so I was spared from being asked any question directly. Haha... That's probably one of the perks of having a 'hard' to pronounce name.
P.S: No, I haven't given up on blogging. Just been really, really disorganized with all the catching up to do after missing 2 weeks of lectures! And also with Eid celebration, futsal training, etc. Sorry if post ini agak hambar. Berkarat aah dah lama tak memblog! Haha...Hopefully this won't be the only post for the whole month! =P
1st guessing game: How can someone be in debt of 10,000?? What did he spend it on? Down payment for a house/apartment (whatever you can get with that amount of money nowadays)? A new car? Wasted it all on a night of gambling gone wrong? Used it to venture on a new business??
2nd guessing game: What currency is the 10,000 debt made in??
Ooookkk... So, think of an answer.
Done thinking????
Answer for guessing game number 1: Apparently, a junior of mine in KMB, lost his SIM card. Well, he's studying in the UK and yeah, he lost it during the summer holidays, meaning he lost it in Malaysia. Unfortunately for him, he uses the bill pay system. And even unfortunate for him, he didn't realize he lost his SIM card in the first place and of course didn't report the loss so that the mobile company could at least bar the number from usage should someone come upon it and decided to use it. Well, his unfortunate luck doesn't end there. Someone did come upon his SIM card and decided to use it. Luckily (getting tired of the word unfortunate already. So, let's use the point of view from the person who stole the SIM card now. Huhu...) for the thief the SIM card does not have a pin code! (or maybe he somehow cracked it. I don't really have all the details. Another junior of mine told me about this story) Ok, so he, thinking like any other thief would, used the SIM card to call almost every single person in Malaysia and also Bangladesh that he knew in his life. He called and he called and yes, he called... Till the phone number was barred. No, not because the person who owned the number suddenly realized that he had lost his SIM card, but because the phone company suddenly realized that the bill amount was getting too extravagant from the usual about 30 the guy usually spends a month. Well, luckily for the guy who stole the SIM card, they barred the number only after the bill reached 10,000. And you think they took that long to finally bar the number. Genius! The guy have probably talked his ear off already. He probably had enough radioactive waves or whatever they say is transmitted inside him already due to the time spent using his mobile phone. (Hey! There's an idea! Why not we do a radioactive test on everyone to find out who the culprit is. I'm sure he'll go totally off the radar!) So, now this unfortunate junior of mine, is in debt of 10,000! Answer for guessing game no 2: Yes, since he's studying in UK, you'd might already guessed the answer. It's in United Kingdom Pounds. So, taking into consideration the rate nowadays, he precisely owes the mobile provider about RM60,712.80. Ouch huh???
So, anyone interested or have any idea how to help him out??
Bertepatan dengan hari kemerdekaan Malaysia, saya hendak menulis dalam bahasa Melayu. Maaf jika Bahasa yang digunakan agak cacat, kerana saya sesungguhnya tidak berapa mahir. Ya, salah diri sendiri! =P Maka, marilah kita mulakan penulisan!
Saya tak faham... Saya tak faham kenapa kebanyakkan orang-orang di Malaysia tak ada adab time beratur.
Saya tak faham kenapa kebanyakkan orang-orang di Malaysia tak tahu dan tak kisah pasal isu-isu semasa di Malaysia (apatah lagi isu-isu di dunia dengan memberi kata-kata seperti: "Takpelah.. Asal sampai Malaysia tak berperang sudah") tapi kalau tanya pasal artis-artis serata dunia, cepat je nak nyampuk.
Saya tak faham kenapa kebanyakkan orang-orang Malaysia (lagi-lagi yang mengaku Melayu Muslim) rasa dorang 'cool' dan hebat dan lagi teruk, kalau berasa bangga membuat aktiviti-aktiviti yang berunsur barat (seperti clubbing dan minum arak).
Saya tak faham kenapa kebanyakkan orang-orang Malaysia suka buat kecoh pasal benda remeh-temeh.
Saya tak faham kenapa kebanyakkan orang-orang Malaysia tak reti bersyukur.
Saya tak faham kenapa kebanyakkan orang-orang Malaysia tak ramah walaupun sebenarnye kita konon-kononnya dikenali sebagai orang-orang yang ramah (tapi kenapa kalau saya bayar dan senyum dan cakap terima kasih kat cashier, dorang masam jer..?? Mungkin sebab saya kurang comeyl dan mereka hanya ramah dengan orang berlainan jantina dan pelancong-pelancong asing...? Mungkin...)
Saya tak faham kenapa kebanyakkan orang-orang Malaysia terlalu memandang tinggi orang-orang asing [maksud saya pelancong-pelancong asing, bukannye orang-orang dari Indonesia dan Bangladesh yang penat-penat buat kerja yang orang-orang kita sendiri malas nak buat (bukannya nak 'backup' dorang, tapi betul kan??)].
Saya tak faham kenapa kebanyakkan orang-orang di Malaysia tak berapa tinggi (tapi ini mungkin sebab genetik, maka tak boleh salahkan sesiapa tapi saya masih nak mengungkit perkara ini. Haha...).
Saya tak faham kenapa kebanyakkan orang-orang Malaysia hanya tahu meraikan Hari Kemerdekaan dan bersungguh-sungguh untuk meraikannya tapi tak faham tentang bertapa pentingnya hari tersebut.
Dan saya lagi tak faham kenapa kebanyakkan orang-orang di Malaysia hanya tahu mengkritik tapi tak tahu bagaimana untuk memperbaiki keadaan di Malaysia sendiri (ie: saya =P).
Selamat menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan!! =)
P.S: Bak kata pepatah, alang-alang menyeluk pekasam, biar sampai ke pangkal lengan (ecey~~), maka saya nak mengucapkan selamat berpuase (penuh!) kepada semua! Semoga Ramadhan kali ini lebih bermakna. InsyaAllah~~
One of my friend Iliasked me just now, out of the blue, while we were busy discussing other things...
Ili: So, will I see you this hari raya? Huhu...
Me: Huh?? What's that suppose to mean??
Ili: Since when do you have a problem with reading? Huhu...
Me: Haha.. I don't. But, I do have a problem understanding your question. So, please explain sket.
Ili: Adakah saya akan berjumpa anda hari raya ini??
Me: Haha... I understand English ok. Tapi apsal tanya soklan tu?
Ili: Saje. I had a dream.
Me: Ooook...
Ili: Mimpi dipatuk ular.
Me: Huh?? Membe aku kata kalo mimpi kene patuk ular, maknenye ade orang nak masuk meminang. Eeeehhh... Ke mimpi kene kejar ular eh?? Cause ari tu die mimpi aku kene. Sengal!! Ok, then??
Ili: Tapi ular tu cam tak menakutkan. Cam ular kertas tapi cam geli gak. Tu kire dipinang gak ke?? Hahaha...
Me: Ntah! Tak tahu pasal mimpi-mimpi ni! Haha... So, pe kaitan mimpi tu ngan aku?
Ili: Tah... Tapi aku rasa ular and ko ade keserasian??
Me: WHAT???? Itu tak boleh terima! Hahhaa... Pastu kena patuk ngan ular kertas, so kite akan jumpe time raya...?? Hahah... Mende ko nih??
Ili: Ye ah. Sebab ular tu cam ular kertas. Angpau duit raya. And ko and ular plak ade keserasian. Nampak tak connection die??
Me: Celah mana keserasian ni???????
Then she went on to talk about how a snake and I would even be serasi which I should not tell due to the weird explanation. Yeah2~~ Still tak boleh terima.
Me: Haih~~ You know the answer right???
Ili: So is it a yes...??
But I never got this last question. Probably cause disconnected kejap and it wasn't until I looked at the archive to write about it, baru nampak soklan ni. Sorry Ili!! But, if I did, I would have answered:
Me: Well, that's for me to know and for you to find out is it...?? =P

Apparently, unless you're living in a total cocoon, away from any contact with civilization and unfortunate enough to not have any mode of communication to the outside world, then you wouldn't care or know much about the Beijing Olympics.
Yes, the ultimate multi-sports event that every single sane and ambitious sportsmen have ever imagined to be playing in is back again after four years. Just by watching the spectacular opening, everybody knew that this was going to be one huge Olympics - and so far it has been so.
The main country contenders have got to be the host China and USA with their huge number of awesome athletes raging to go give it their best in the games. These two countries are forces to be reckoned with.
Anyway, I've always been a huge fan of the Olympics and among the few events I just love to get updated on are: 1) Soccer. Brazil and Argentina are definitely my hot favs for this event. With Ronaldinho finally coming back after a long break due to injury and Messi giving his best for his country (amid the "No, you're not going" "Yes, I am!" battle between him and his club), it feels like the World Cup have arrived early.
2) Tennis. Rafael Nadal has chosen a very good year to finally be in his ultimate best. With Federer out of contention, I'd say Nadal has very high chances to take the gold medal home.
3) Gymnastics. I was rooting for team USA to win but definitely China was waaaay better despite the fact that Alicia Sacramone was being blamed for her team's loss. But, for the overall title I'd say the US could safely get it what with Shawn Johnson having a clear shot of clinching it given that her teammate Nastia doesn't get it herself. And kudos to Yang Wei who finally got his well-deserved gold individual medal!
4) Swimming. Now, for those of you not interested in this sport, you'd better go check it out cause there's going to be a lot of record breaking (there have been too many of them happening already anyway) happening in this event, thanks to the outrageously talented Michael Phelps. He's been breaking records ever since he got to Beijing and on his way to achieve the ultimate record of 8 gold medals in a single Olympics.
5) Basketball. Definitely rooting for team USA and Spain. But, I just think that USA may well be on their way to taking a gold home. Well, that's just me.
6) And last but not least, badminton. Now this is a sport where I am most anxious to get updated on. Why? Because our very own Malaysian, Lee Chong Wei is still contending for the gold medal! Wuhuu...!! Well, this is basically the one sport where Malaysia have any chances of getting a medal. But, could he be the one answer to our very first Olympics gold?? Well, looking at the way he's been performing, I'd say he has quite a clear shot. Don't wanna jinx it though, but go Chong Wei go!! Or as the spectators in China chant: Jiayou!! Jiayou!! (which means "Add oil!! Add oil!!". Hey, don't look at me like that. I didn't make that up! Promise! =P)
It's Mahirah's 10th birthday today... Wasn't able to be there to celebrate it with her (and not too happy with that) Naseb baik dah beli present awal-awal. Kalau tak, tak abes-abes la membebel and merajuk la budak kecik tu. Huhu...
So, Happy Birthday Mahirah!! Grow up to be what you wanna be and soo much more!! *kisses* =) [Owh, she told me she wants to be a doctor haiwan since I'm gonna be a doctor manusia (InsyaAllah). But, setakat ni haiwan yang dia paling sayang and berani nak dekat are cats and dogs. Itu pun still memilih. Nak yang comel-comel jer. Yang lain semua die lari jauh-jauh sambil menjerit atau menangis histeria kalau binatang tu datang dekat. Huhu...]
This is her with her best friend Ilyasa (or Syasya as we call him) during one of their usual afternoon playtime session.
Went waiting for the commuter to go back to sweet old Subang at 5-ish p.m. Arrived home at 8p.m.
Seriously, if you're just about to board the komuter after office hours heading to Pelabuhan Kelang, just take an extra hour just to wind down at the nearest maple coz you won't be able to get INSIDE the komuter. Well, unless you're a ruthless person who don't have the courtesy to let the disembarking passengers get out first before shoving your way inside and at the same time completely ignoring the whole concept of QUEUING up and following the queue and using your super tajam heels or whatever other asset of mass destruction you've got on other people just to get ahead, or inside to be precise, then yeah, just follow my advice.
Just DON'T even think of wasting your time queuing up cause everyone else don't follow the rule of first come, first serve. It's definitely a survival of the fittest competition if you're adamant on making it in time for your daily dose of 7.00pm drama (whatever's on these days). And if it really was, I'd be the already extinct species, or if I'm lucky, the rare species that has to be put on the endangered species list.
Firstly, you'd have to survive by actually pushing everyone else in front of you to get in. Then, after you're in, it's another competition all-together. Survival for oxygen. (forget getting enough space to put your stuff down or even feel comfortable where you're squashed at. Once you're in, you're considered lucky. Huhu...)
So, how did I finally entered the komuter and arrived home just in time for dinner? Well, after the 3rd time(whoever came up with the phrase 3rd time's the charm has apparently never came and witnessed the repetitive disappointments one has to go through just to go home using the komuter), I finally decided to just not rely on my luck (which apparently decided to go for a summer holiday as well) and just board the train heading to Sentul so that I could stop at Bank Negara and board the train to go to Subang from there. Brilliant huh? Wish I'd just followed this plan the first time I thought about it (which was the first time when I was not even allowed to smell the inside of the komuter. Sungguh sengal~~ Habes masa 1 jam lebih sebab tunggu nak board train jer)
And you wanna know the best part of this?? When I finally boarded the train to go back home at Bank Negara (I got a seat too!! Sweeet! Huhu...) the advertisement in front of me goes like this:
Pilihan Bijak Tentulah KTM Komuter
Jimat Masa Jimat Tenaga Jimat Belanja
Well, at least one part of it is right. And don't blame me if I happen to be totally skeptical about things promoted on advertisements after this. My experiences thought me better. *sigh*
Whoa~~ Finally updating my blog. Sure dah takde siape yang check to see whether I've updated ke tak kan?? Haha... Yaaa... saya adalah seorang blogger yang teramat-amat pemalas! Every time I want to write about something, it's either the connection takde (FYI I'm currently using free wireless connection from one of my mysterious jiran yang sangat baik hati@kurang celik IT kerana tak letak password kat dienya connection. Whatever the case, thanx jiran misteri!! =P) or dah takde mood nak tulis cause when the mood comes, kena terus tulis. Kalau tak.. hilang idea! Yeah, yeah... Alasan~~
So, anyway, the summer holidays have passed for like 2 months already. I've been up to a lot of things! Been to the KKB reunion where there were lots of new faces who came this time around. Kindda missed the 'update' session cause well, my friends and I were busy gossiping and lazing around the room to notice that everyone else were downstairs telling each other what's been up with their life now and all (heard one of my friend even said she was planning to get married! Hmmm.. Menarik update itu! Hehe...) Pastu berjaya ajar dorang main Mafia, my most favourite get-together game. Owh, and also had this little session playing teka-teki where yours truly totally pissed a lot of people off with the "Kuda apa yang paling lawa sekali??" question. [BTW, the answer is Kuda SYURGA (and make sure you give the answer with a straight face and if you're really asking to be slapped in the face especially by Azie, throw in some hand gestures that's suitable i.e like you're trying to introduce a really awesome new gadget that's gonna save people with cancer/AIDs/starvation. Get it??)] The whole reunion was a lot of fun cause had the time to talk to my old friends and see what they were up to these days.
So, after the KKB reunion, I went to Australia for 2 weeks. Went to Melbourne, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sydney. It was soo much fun especially the Gold Coast and Sydney trip. Well, eventhough technically I only spent like 2 days in Sydney but it was fun cause I get to spend time with Syal!! Its been two years already since I last saw her, so best ah dapat spend time eventhough kejap je with her. It's not the quantity, it's the quality that counts right?
The trip to Gold Coast trip gave me a lot of new experiences. Like... Sleeping inside a car for one night. Ini agak tak boleh blah la kan. Originally we were all supposed to sleep at the airport (hey, I didn't plan this whole trip. So, don't go saying that this is soo typical me. Huhu... No this time I wasn't responsible and the addition of the Gold Coast airport to the collection of airports I've already slept in wasn't made by me deliberately =P) Anyway, the night was spent playing cards, playing with shopping carts (ni kerja Ammar, Jem and Meera) and taking pictures before we were asked whether any of us lived in the apartment beside where we were playing by a guard. (guard yang sama yang telah memberi kata-kata membina kepada tiga manusia yang bermain cart tadi) Dalam kata erti yang lain, kteorang telah dihalau dari situ. Wuwu... sungguh sedey! So, because it was getting late anyway, we decided to wrap the night and just stay inside the car and yeah, try to sleep. The next day, we went to watch the sunrise. Semua pun layan je eventhough semua orang tengah sengal-sengal badan sebab position tido yang agak kurang baik (especially those yang tido kat driver's seat, steering wheel lagi kan. Haha...) Then, we made our way to our apartments, which was soo beautiful! The view from there was superb and it was soo spacious and comfortable! Definitely gets my sign of approval! =)
The days in Gold Coast was spent at the beach. Didn't actually get to see the surfers do their thing sebab lambat benar nak kena tunggu cause dorang plak kena tunggu wave yang best kan. Then, we also went to Movie World(where I went on the Superman Escape ride, it went from ZERO to 100 km/h in 2 seconds! Gile! Nak patah tengkuk!), Sea World (the highlight of this trip was the dolphin show. Comeyl2~~) and also went to the Currumbin Zoo (where I fed and touched a kangaroo!! Yipee!! But, they were super busuk! And they're actually kindda big and everytime nak snap picture with one of them, mesti muke tengah cuak. Haha...) Overall the trip was superb! Get to make new friends (Hafiz and Homi yang kedua-duanya sengal) Was thinking bout going there again. This time probably with my family. Bile ntah pun tak tahu.
Then, after the Gold Coast trip went to the MASCA thingy. It was actually a sports carnival held at the University of Queensland, Brisbane. It was kindda cool cause I get to meet my old KMB friends and also make a few new ones. Owh, and I also met my secondary school friend, Chew there! Of all the places to meet my old Subang friend la kan... Kat Subang tak pernah plak nak terserempak. Kat Aussie jugak... Then, I also met one of my juniors at KKB who happens to know my full name! Haha... Bagus memory die~~ So, it was fun catching up with these people. There was also a masquarade ball yang takde ah Masquerade sangat pun and tak macam ball langsung. Haha... Sorry2... Nothing against the organizers though. But, the food was great, didn't actually comprehend the whole concept of having to make two dishes of each course and selang-seli letak dish lain-lain kat each table. Leceh kan?? But it's not my job so I'll just leave it at that =P Owh, and I actually played netball for Victoria in the scorching heat! [yeah, I got sunburnt and also helped them (ye ker??) get third place]
What did I learn after my trip to Australia?? Hmm... I know how to play poker now! =P
Then, the rest of my summer holidays was spent with my friends, had another M04M reunion last Monday with Robo, Jiha, Aisyah, Jem, KS and Ammar. Hey, we even met Teo, the most mysterious and quietest guy in my class! Talk about a true class reunion. Hehe... Then, trips to the maple with Usaid and Yati and also Ili, Cipi and all. Owh, did I mention that I bumped into Nas-T(Abu from KAMI for those of you who don't know) at OU last Monday?? Mula-mula tak perasan pun dia. Just perasan gf die (yes... bummer) je cause she was walking too fast and actually struggled to walk fast(because of the expression from her face. Huhu...). I was thinking "Apsal minah ni jalan laju smacam ni??" Then I realized beside her was Nas-T! Pastu terus gile sekejap. Haha... He was as cute as he is on screen. Tapi macam pendek sikit laa. Average height for Malaysian guys kot. Haih~~
Owh, and also in case some of you haven't seen the Dark Knight, seriously go and watch it! Totally worth it especially if it's a treat from your brother. Teehee... Allright, till my next post then! (pray that it won't take another month. Hehe...)
