Sungguh kurang sopan..

I've been tagged by Cik Alia apparently, so here..
RULES: People who are tagged should write a blog post of 6 weird things about them as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says 'you are tagged' in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

1. Ants makes me itch. I'm not sure if it's a physical thing or more of a psychological thing because they don't even have to bite me to make me itch.. just looking at them gave me the strong urge to scratch my arms or legs. Ants-- are horrifyingly annoying like that.

2. I beat myself up when I forget about a TV show that I really wanted to watch. Really. Sometimes I feel like my heart dropped a few inches inside the rib cage. There were times when I actually cried for not being in front of the telly.. even though I was actually having a good time outdoors!

3. I cannot say how much I want a pair of Christian Louboutin's shoes! I must've pictured myself in one at least once a day! I don't know.. it is an odd sort of a goal I think. Something I need to achieve someday. Is it weird? I don't know. Maybe it isn't so weird for a female - wanting shoes.

4. I second-guesses people under the Scorpio sign. I know, that's almost racism but it's really not! I always have this feeling when I came in contact with a Scorpio. I don't hate them.. nor dislike them. My mom's a Scorpio! (and though we rarely see things eye to eye but 'dislike' and 'hate' is too much of a strong word.) I've had a good friend who was a Scorpio and she was nice.
But I don't know.. I just.. have this heaviness that if there is anyone that could murder me in my sleep, it'd be a Scorpio.

5. Ohh, everytime I meet a new person, I'd ask their zodiac sign. It usually came up first before their names. I also remember my friends by it. Date of birth - not so much, but I try.
My close friends knew me too well by now that everytime they told me about their other friends, and I asked "what is he/she?", they'd respond by the zodiac sign. (Instead of something else that actually mattered, like their job for instance.)

6. I have a hard time focusing on people's eyes when they talk. It's not that I choose to look at a different part of their body -- it's just hard. I always feel like there's a higher level of seriousness when I look into their eyes and it makes me slightly uncomfortable. I usually look at their lips. I don't mean to be somewhat-sexual in any way, but I find it amusing to watch their teeth. Plus, sometimes I need the visual aid since my ears are a little stubborn, they just refuse to focus on the other person's voice sometimes.

6 persons whom I will tag.. you know, it's times like this when I wish I had more friends! haha.
Bahijah, Ana, Aisyah, Hanis.. and Dar too since he's also my friend (not just Alia's! hahhaha!) Ohh! And Ablen so he'd have something to write on his blog.. maybe.. someday!

Anyway, just for notes.. I had spent the afternoon with Alia. We just hung out and had lunch (a late one) in Secret Recipe, SACC Mall.. and completely blew our purses! It's scary how much we spend when we're around each other! hahhahaha!
Good times, though.

OMG! It's almost March!!!

Back in Shah Alam.

OH MY GOD!!!
I cried.. and cried. I just couldn't take it, pretending I was all macho and truly convince myself it was just a show.. last week's of Grey's Anatomy was friggin' intense!! God! It was unbelievable! It was.. painfully sad and I'm still tearing up right now. Can't wait to find out what'll happen this week.. I just.. can't get around Derek's and Christina's grief.

Hey everyone. I am now home, and so is my sister - for good. Or at least for the time being.

So you know when you feel like you're dreaming.. (I think I'm going famous with this "dreams"-metaphor stuff) It was 7 am yesterday.. (I think it was yesterday!) Anton was driving me and my sister through the streets of Holland towards Schiphol Airport when I just thought.. How did I get here?
Surely, I was in an airplane two weeks before but just.. how? Sometimes I feel like asking complete strangers, "Why me exactly?"

Like in dreams, everyone knew what they are going to do next - except you. You are the only person who decides what you're going to do. So maybe if there is any chance you could interact with everyone else, they could tell you what you're supposed to do. Maybe we could ask them life mysteries and actually get the answers, yeah?

Anyway, I was never good at interpreting dreams. I just note them down and wait it out until one day things just somehow clicked and those sleepy memories had somehow seemed like an epiphany in a foreign language of sorts.
So I say.. I will have no choice but to wait it out just like always. I'll just see what happens next, and I will keep you posted.

Oh by the way, just so you know I wasn't trying to sound ungrateful. This is my way of saying how grateful I am for my luck and that I am still disbelieving the ludicrousity of my life slacking.

I had a considerably nice flight. Food was terrible, for the first time I agreed with the cliche about airplane meals but I had a really nice seat mate so that makes up for everything in my book! His name was Greg, American, forty-nine (I swear I am not the "old man attractor" like Dida likes to say!) a Leo and spends 27 hours every two weeks on a plane from The States, transit in Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur and again to Ho Chi Minh city. I was over-friendly I think! I now even know that his wife is a Virgo! haha!

I saw Alia a few hours after I got home. We got lunch and on the way back we made a quick stop at Alam Sentral since Alia had wanted to send her shoes to be repaired. I stayed at the car... and fell asleep!! hahahahha! Alia had to shake the car to wake me up and let her in. (Sorry - again Cik Alia!!)

Okay, I have to go. Need to catch up on all of my favourite shows!
(Fine, sleep too..)

Back in Rotterdam.

Goede avond! (10:25 PM here!)

We're back from Frankfurt and Berlin.. and what have I learnt?
I believe that I am at the age of finding a good sugar-daddy since I keep attracting old men all over Europe!
One asked for my email address at the subway when all the while he had been talking to my sister! Seriously.

I like Berlin. We like Berlin.
Now I should probably start packing. We're flying back to Malaysia this Wednesday and good byeee Europe 'til God knows when..

Aaaaaa!!!

I know it's just horrible (in a way) of me to say this but I am GLAD that I'll be coming home this Wednesday. I NEED my TV fix!!
Need.. need... need.. NEED!!
Especially now that I've read their reviews!! Aaaaaahhh!!! I want to watch House, Heroes, One Tree Hill.. The Office! And Grey's Anatomy especially!! Aaaaaahhhhh!!!!!
Why did Dida only get dial-up! If only she got dsl.. or what ever it is called. Aaaahh!! I just can't stop screaming and whining! I WANT MY SHOWS!!

On a different note, we are heading to Frankfurt today. Berlin tomorrow.
But I still want my shows. heh!

The search is over!

I found the dress! I found the dress I've been looking for the past two days! Cheers!! Dida was right about them keeping some clothes off the rack.
I went to Dordrecht earlier and didn't find the dress there. Tired (mentally), I went back to Rotterdam to do my "chores". (Y'know.. going to the market/supermarket getting groceries.)

I had just came out from C&A returning the earrings I bought yesterday since one of its stones had gone missing and went into H&M, with heaviness in my heart; preparing for yet another disappointment.. calculating how many H&M stores that I might have to look through when we get to Berlin.

I walked towards the part of the store where I saw size-42 yesterday and to my surprise, there were a couple of sleeves on the rack! The first one I saw was size 38 so frantically I flipped the hangers one by one.
38 - 42 - 40 - 42 - 36!!!!!
The last one!! *manic laugh* I grabbed it.. went to the paskamer (fitting room) just to make sure.. spent more time than I should in there satisfying my vanity.. and happily almost-skipped towards the cashier! heehee.
I have now lost any reason to shop for myself. (Except maybe.. for the perfect little shoes? ahhahahahaha!! Naah.) I am happily content.

Afterwards I had went to the market to find some coccles. On my way back, I saw this one old man dancing horribly to the song that was playing at the record stall. It was really horrendous; American Idol-worthy. But he was perfectly happy doing what he likes. Not a care in the world. Makes me think, I want to be like him when I'm old..
Tua ganyut tak sedar diri. ahahahahhahahahahaha!!!!!

22 Years and 2 Months.

I am officially -- that old.
So what have I learned so far?

1. Although many writers find smoking helps, it does not work for me. So happens that the lighter my head gets, the further ideas flew away from my thoughts. It didn't help that I have a history of asthma either. But I must note that somehow it manages to help my bowel movement -- same as coffee. haha!
This means that I shall continue on my quest to find the perfect vice.

2. I am a pretty good secret keeper. The question remains, how good is the secret for me to listen and take heed of it in the first place?

3. I'm pretty sure that I can't be bought. I make it a mental note when somebody got me something. Sure, I'm a little nicer to them -- but not too much. haha!

4. Even though I rarely put on anything in PINK, I still can't help looking when I walk pass them. It's a mistery, I think! I am like a fly and the colour pink is the light.

I am such a slow learner, aren't I? I could only think of four things.. how horrible.
Anyway.. this has been..the best weekend ever!

We went to Amsterdam yesterday and found a couple of things that we really liked. So we got them, ate at our favourite kebab place and also went to Hard Rock Cafe since Dida had wanted to get some tees for a couple of her friends.
Then there it was.. the cutest pin ever! *manic laugh* It's the Valentine's Day pin and I just had to have it!

Today I went on a search to find a particular dress that I saw in H&M while we were in Amsterdam. Unfortunately they ran out of my size -- in all 5 stores that we found! The same goes for Rotterdam.. I went to all 4 stores that I can think of and only one of them had that dress -- in size 42!! Urrgh! Frustrating.

I'll possibly head to Dordrecht tomorrow. Just going crazy..
I just checked.. there's 24 stores in Berlin. heh!
We had cancelled Dubai by the way.

Super Saturday Shopping!

Good evening!

It's 9:08 pm over here and I am trying to tend to my achy feet. Just "trying" because I don't really know what I should do with it..


Dida and I went to Antwerpen (also known as Antwerp) today for two reasons;
1. Belgian waffles,
2. shopping!!
It almost makes no sense for us to travel to another country to shop but that's what we did! -- and it was totally worth it, getting rained and achy feet and all.


Dida spent a LOT today and no.. it wasn't just for me. I just got a jacket (can't help myself, it was relatively cheap!!) and a pair of polka-dot socks. haha!
What's amazing about our day was the sale in ZARA. The prices were so low, it was beyond our comprehension! Can you imagine, paying less than €8 for a pair of corduroy pants?? It was crazy! Never before I see a tee in ZARA selling for €4.. that's less than RM20!! We just couldn't help getting pretty hysterical while we were looking through the rows of jackets. Dida bought one for me.. and Nina! (The tag was from Nina's jacket.)

Well, it was fun. It's not like you could shop in ZARA everyday and come out like you had just shopped in Giant Supermarket! heehee. We're probably going to Amsterdam tomorrow to shop some more -- depends on how well our feet recovers. We'll probably end up just catching a movie around here though.

Oh, remember the other day about the snow? Well, it completely disappeared the day after. Kinda sad actually. Wish it had lasted longer..

Just an update.

Hey there!

You know when some days things are happening so fast around you that you had to actually pinch yourself to make sure that you hadn't accidentally dozed off and dreaming everything up again? I am having that.
Yesterday I was a bum at home. Today, I am a bum in Europe.

It's 10:36 am, I have arrived, safe and soundly to my sister's place in Rotterdam. The wind was friggin' cold as we were heading towards the building that I almost lost every bit of feeling on my legs. It's -1 degrees Celcius over here and it had just started SNOWING!!
Honestly, with the snow and the strong wind.. it looked somewhat like a blizzard! But then again, this is only my first time seeing snow so what do I know! Just pardon me for the exaggeration. Can't help being amazed with this. Do people actually go out when it snows?

I found the train from Schiphol to Rotterdam Centraal quite alright. Somehow being a cow isn't on today's schedule. Then Dida came to pick me up a half an hour late which made me quite keen to spend a LOT of her money, shopping; and the amazing thing is, she's already given me the green light!!! *manic laugh*
Seriously, she's completely cuckoo.
Okay well, I will have to clean up those dishes and run some errands. Maybe after I have a bit of a lie down and the snow stops looking so much like a blizzard.

My flight here was alright. I was seated at the aisle, much to my dismay.. plus, the possibly-Russian couple that was sitting next to me was completely unfriendly and had very small bladders. At one point of the flight, the man next to me asked me if I'd like to switch seats to one that is a few rows behind, which I answered with "Why would I want to do that?" My horoscope was freakishly correct about that bit of my travelling.

But I must also note that my seat was actually right next to the kitchen; which sounded bad, but isn't really! Since I can rarely sleep anyway, the hustle of the air-hostess was not too much of a disturbance for me. It's even cool that they were all keen to cater to my needs! I was very well fed and watered the whole time. The fact that there weren't too many Malaysians on the flight, let alone around the section I was seated in, helps - a LOT!
Very lucky, I was.. heehee. Oh! I was also just three seats behind the exit. So having the boring seat-mates was not so bad after all..

Alright, enough of that.
I will write again when there's a need to. (On my behalf.. naturally!)

Leaving on a jetplane.

Again.

Firstly, I hope your eyes aren't swirling too much from the excessive PINK! You know.. February.. tends to get me a bit cuckoo sometimes. The fixation over red and pink is rather contagious!

Okay. So.. 3 a.m. yesterday my nutty sister called and asked me to come to her place (yes, she did make it sound like she's only 20 minutes' drive away) because she was on the verge of breaking down. Thus, after a very busy day for me and my dad; getting tickets, exchanging currencies..
I will be flying off to Amsterdam later today.

Now.. never, I say NEVER by any means.. underestimate the spontaneity of a Sagittarian.

I must also note that that Kabalarian Philosophy analyzation of my name had turned out pretty freaky. I am not complaining, of course.. but I'd hate to think that I will only get ahead by my influences. That's just.. Well, a pussy's way to live a life. So! I am definitely in need of a character change.

I wonder when Malaysian composers are going to start making songs that sounds like this. Again, don't ask me what the lyrics meant.. This is among the rarest songs that I love just for their tunes and this one is climbing up on the list.

Alright! I will need to collect my thoughts before I start pre-packing the things that I need to bring with me.
So.. be back in a jiffy! (That being in about 2 weeks..)

Of comedy and tragedy.

Went to see Stranger Than Fiction today. I really loved it. I have to say that I never liked Will Ferell but this film really changed my view of him. (Just like how Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind changed my view on Jim Carrey -- he can actually.. really act!) Anyway, Stranger Than Fiction is on my favourites' list now.

Been going back to Bukit Kapar this past few days; getting ready for Maya's engagement party (if you may let me call it that.) A few of us were sitting around at tea time on Thursday when my dad somehow pondered about how the children got so tall. (If you've seen the family.. we're not exactly in the height range of average Malays.) Then Adam said how it's sad for Tau since among the elder male cousins.. he is the shortest. The rest of us just laughed.
Mind you, shortest being 175 centimetres.
Just for notes: Maya, Tau, Adam (and Nadia) are siblings. They're the children of my father's 3rd brother, Cik Kamal.

Also.. later that day I found out that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out this July 21st!! Naturally, I grabbed my phone and texted in such speed that it would have embarassed The Flash.
So yes.. I've made some plans for that day, assuming that Kinokuniya will be holding a launching the likes of what they had done for the past two installments.

This week's episode of House is my favourite so far. It's not as "medical" as usual.. but I just love all the conversations in it. Imagine conversations between House and Wilson being extended to the entire show; morality, philosophies.. ideas. My kind of thing.

Speaking of TVs, congratulations to Jo Jer and Zabrina for being the first all-female team to win The Amazing Race Asia!! I knew I wasn't rooting for them in vain! hahha.

Probably should sleep now. My dad wants us to leave the house by 7:30 am. I'm going to have to be the 2nd photographer for Maya's thing tomorrow, with Aris (yet another cousin.. we actually have a pretty big family) being the 1st. He's taking with his digital camera, while I'm going old school with the films - as always.
I probably should remind Aris that we should be taking a lot of photos of each other. If not, people wouldn't believe we were even there! Like the time when I took pictures for Cik Mi's engagement; even my father had forgotten to introduce me to the girl's family. It's incredibly depressing actually. Nobody knows that's how I feel - which is of course, making it more depressing to be doing this for the second time.
Then again, I should stop thinking about myself for one second.

Hey, can I say that I'm an Ugly Duckling? Well, the last time I went out with Alia, Farah and Zaki, they coincidentally wore white while I had my black top on. But now come to think of it, I am rather different from my family, character-wise. A little free.. a little wild.. and let's face it - I am not a grown up. So how ever can I possibly turn into the swan that I'm supposed to be?
(Come on, nobody thinks they're going to be a duck forever, right? Except of course maybe.. if they're the Mighty Ducks! hahha!)

Have a good one everybody.

Dubai or Istanbul...

Can't I do both?


please?

(ahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahha!!)
I really can't help pushing my luck to the very edge.
(and Dida's nerve, I might add! heehee!)
ps: Lain topik.. Sebab menyampah, I had to blog this even though I said I wouldn't blog-angry this year. Okay, tatau ape yang bongok, mungkin juge Wanie.. tapi setting fon ni asyik tak betuuul aje untuk send email!! Konon nak best laa blog gune fon, tapi ape dapat?? Baru je reload, dah tinggal RM28.49! Tak guneee!! Ini tidak adil! Gue tertekann! Malasnye nak gi kedai Celcom suh dia set kan.. tak berjaya menjadi MacGyver.. Hmm.. takdelaa marah sangat pon. "Angry" is not the word. Frustrated is.

---

Update: Jan 31st/9:51pm
Istanbul is fully booked. How crazy is that??

You know you're obsessed--

with
SUDOKU

when you imagine there were numbers on the tiles of your bathroom floor while you were peeing.

Excuse me John, can you be any more hotter?

This isn't the enlightening entry that I wish I would've written but I just can't help myself. I'm just in dire NEED of writing this;
Of all the things I've ever heard in my entire life, Azraai has the funniest philosophy about love. hahhahahhahaha!! Seriously Pet, that made my day. That water baloon theme will keep me amused for days!! ahahhaha!! That really was.. amazing.

Moving on, for the record.. if I can't have Danny, John would be just as wonderful.
Scratch that. I think I want John more than I want Danny. (For now at least!) hahhaha!! I'm fickle.. can't make up my mind. But then again, I'm only imagining things..
Although, I believe.. things should be even more perfect in your dreams! Soo.. I think I'll take a moment before I decide. kikkiki

Man.. The Office is so wonderful! It's become my number one comedy right now. Of course, I love those easy-favourites like Friends, Seinfeld and The Simpsons but The Office is just different!
Mockumentary is.. cool! There isn't that "laughing track" at the background so you either get the joke, or you don't! --which sounds a bit snobbish actually, but all the more reason to watch it from the beginning!

And when you've seen them, try watching their bloopers - which you can find on YouTube. I laughed 'til I cried one night (something crazy Dwight had said; not too different from what Azraai shared with me earlier) and for the umpteenth time, my mom thought I was losing my mind.

Okay.. I don't have a weird sense of humour (well fine, we could probably argue on that) but this is way funnier than you think.. and on a whole new level of sweet, actually! I just can't stop smiling to this!!

People change. (?)

How far do you believe in that?
Because I don't really..
Rarely anyone could or would change for anything. If it had seemed as if they had changed.. it's mostly because it has always been there in them on the first place. Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean that they have changed.
You just got to know them a little better.. looked at them a little closer..

A leopard does not change its spots.

Sorry.

Oh.. my.. God!

Have you seen the new season of American Idol??
Good God!!

That's all I'm going to say.

Liar, liar.. pants on fire.

Aaah.. for the record, I am not angry. More disappointed than angry. And a bit sorry to say that I've been expecting it. So pardon me for practically saying that I don't have faith in my friends.. that I can't tell you that I consider every one of them are reliable. So happens that somebody promised me something and it's been two weeks and the person haven't said a word about it.

If there is anything that bugged me the most, it'd probably be a broken promise. So truthfully, when somebody promises me something.. I rarely take them seriously. But of course, it's in my nature to give the benefit of a doubt.. but two weeks is too much, my friend.

I honestly don't deserve to blog today.. but my hands were itching.. and twitching for me to type out some words. (URL adresses doesn't cut it!)
For the record, when I say that I don't deserve it, it's a lingo saying that I haven't written a single, worthy paragraph in my Moleskine today so I shouldn't treat myself by blogging.
Yes.. Blogging is a treat.

I'm working on the cat story by the way. (Haven't got the perfect title yet, so I'll call it that for now.) I'm only sure of the first chapter anyway. Probably will let Nina read it.. She'd probably hate the entire thing (and left me with nothing to work with - at all!) but at least I know she'll be appropriately.. critical.

I'm boring you. (Myself, honestly!)
Have been downloading The Office (US version) lately! It's just hilarious, I can't believe I'd only started to watch it a couple of episodes ago! I absolutely adore Jim and Pam. They're funniest together. Ohh, and the latest with Jim and Dwight. So cute! sigh. John Krasinski. *giggling like a school girl* And he's not even that old! (and I only say this to debunk Dida's theory about how I only like older men!) Maybe because of "Jim", everytime I see him in other films I just start to crack up!

I'm really boring myself. Maybe I'm just tired and so mood-less from seeing the crappy side of some friends lately. Sure, I can be crappy too if not crappier.. but you don't see me walking around and making promises I won't keep. sigh. This is getting so old.

Anyways, just so you know.. I cheat sometimes, about the hiatus. When I don't blog here, I'd blog at my LL! *manic laugh*

For entertainment purposes that also works as a quick change of subject.

When the night is dead.

I believe, when people shared a ride and decided to chat, most people would talk about things that are light. The weather.. traffic.. or that new sign board at the side of the road. Although that is what I would talk about, everytime I get in the car with my dad, we'd always find a heavier topic somehow.
We'd talk about our believes, philosophy.. "would you want to be kept alive if you're a vegetable and had to be put on a machine?". I've at least cried twice in that friggin' car because we touched a certain topic too close to the heart.

The other day my dad told me that Nina had wondered about when I'll be getting married. I scoffed at the end of his sentence, and extremely curious at what he had said to Nina. He too, scoffed at the idea, saying that by the looks of things, he reckoned that I'd still be unmarried when I'm 27. I laughed. I know he wasn't trying to offend me in any way - he was entertaining me.

He said that I had never seemed to be the "lovey-dovey" type, and mentioned something about how he hoped that he hasn't screwed me up too much with everything he had told me.
Well, too late for that, I said. Because when it comes to love, I think I'm a cynic. But you know what they say.. Every cynic (in love) is in truth, a romantic at heart. I don't know about the other cynics but I admit that it is quite true on my behalf. Because it's so hard for me to believe in love, I have to really see and feel how earth-rumbling it is before I'd yield to it.
So tell me that that is not a romantic thought - that until my world isn't turned upside down and I became unbalanced because of it.. love is simply an idea.
Possibly overrated.

Now I wonder.. can you possibly be an idealist but also a cynic??
Pretty contradicting, eh? Pardon me but I don't think that my thoughts (or heart, for that matter) were ever plain - or straight.

ps: I realize that not a lot of people can relate to what I had said. If you have found love, good for you. But save your breath if you're intending to send me hate-messages or tell me how great the love that you're experiencing. No words can change my views; doesn't matter how brilliantly it's constructed, thanks!
pps: On a lighter note.. I am so head over heels with my can't-be-considered-as-new-any-longer phone that it must be way waaay uncool! (I'm having too much fun with the themes that I can't stick to one for as long as a week! It's making my mom jealous.. she kept asking if we could switch phones. HAH! No way, Jose!)
ppps: In case you're wondering, today's entry was originally written in my Moleskine a couple of nights ago. It was dead quiet at that time.

Hola!

As I said, this is a semi-hiatus, thus here I am.
I had nothing better to do so instead of extending the milage of my Moleskine, I decided to play Caesar III (because I missed it, and I haven't got a copy of the new one,) and only when that bored me.. I logged onto Blogger.

I honestly don't know why I'm explaining myself to this square box, but anyway..

Saw Night At The Museum earlier this week and I loved it! Brilliantly funny. Dum dum, give me a gum gum. That stonehead was so cute! Ohh, and I saw The Holiday at Nina's house earliar today and that was just as brilliant! Especially love Iris' opening lines; "--We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space!" (and the speech she made to Miles, of course. Basically all her lines were wonderful!)

Now I was just going to keep my ticket stub with the rest of those old stubs that I still have, and here's the list of all the movies I saw in the cinema last year; (told ya' I was bored!)
Pride & Prejudice, Prime, Casanova, Just My Luck, Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest, The Lake House, Click, Snakes On A Plane, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, You, Me & Dupree, Heart, The Banquet, World Trade Center, Devil Wears Prada and Casino Royale.
And that's without seeing any films on April, May, June and November, but with most films seen on September since that was when Pet was around! (boo!)
Dude.. were you looking for me? Just to remind you, there's a higher chance for me to reply an email than an IM.

I've also been following that Korean drama, Sassy Girl, Chun Hyang and I find myself addicted to the songs on the soundtrack.
Especially this one. Despite the fact that I have absolutely no idea what he was singing about, I'd somehow imagine that this fella was trying to be fine with everything but the pain of his heartbreak was too apparent to hide. sigh. Well, it's just my thoughts. Might be my brain tuning itself to a morbid channel again.

That's it from me on the first week of the new year. Thanks for stopping by even though I've told you I'm on a hiatus (as "semi" as it is.) Might I add that typing this entry is a good exercise to the fingers!

Best of luck, readers!

Christopher Columbus.

Happy New Year, everybody!!
I had an extremely tiring day on the 31st but it was fun, spending it with family. The parents and I had went to Seremban to see the kiddies since they're having chicken pox! So Mama had prepared the usual Eid-dishes to bring over to their house so Nina wouldn't have to do too much work, apart from looking after the kids.

At mid-day we head back to Bukit Kapar to celebrate the Eid with the rest of the (extended) family. Plus, there was tahlil and more discussion about Cik Mi's wedding plans.

Cik Alia had passed me an invitation from Idris about a new year's barbeque and I was looking forward to spending the new year's eve with my favourite friends but my dad hadn't seem like making any move to come back to Shah Alam.
As the clock struck 10, Cik Agus asked us (Hannah, Sarah and myself) if we wanted to celebrate new year's somewhere -- and we did!

I went to Sarah and Hannah's house so I could borrow some of their clothes, (Sarah's shirt that Hannah usually wore and Cik Yam's jeans! hahha! I was wearing a baju kurung before the change) and somehow by the time we were ready, there were Anis, Alisa, Sufina and Nadia that had wanted to come with. The boys; Zaid, Ariff, Amin and Adib was in the other car with my dad's sister, Cik Fuah, who is also Cik Agus' wife. (Confused yet?)


Blablablaa.. After watching the fireworks we got take aways from A&W (to my horror, I had to memorize all of our orders.. kept repeating to myself how many burgers and drinks I needed to order.. Obsessing about how many drinks we should get!) and Cik Agus sent me home around half past two.
(Surely you wouldn't want to know every detail!)

2007.. Things to look forward to;
1. The return of my favourite shows so I could start to download them again.. and Heroes on Star World!
2. F1 in Sepang.. hopefully I wouldn't have to miss it this time!
3. Movies; Harry Potter, Fantastic 4.. this can go on for days..
4. My favourite friends coming back for their summer holidays.
5. Dida coming home, of course!

And so begins a new year.. which means a new beginning to some semi-silly resolutions to achieve. (I'm aiming for the moon, as always!) And here are my resolutions for this year!
1. Not to blog angry -- unless it's absolutely necessary for me to let the person I'm pissed at know just what I was thinking of them.
2. Finish a manuscript by mid-year. (Of course, that'd require me to actually pick one of the several works-in-progress I have!)
3. Keep a look out for a job that I can like and not simply one that I can do. (And stay with that job for a minimum of 3 months, of course!)
4. Work harder to achieve these resolutions!!

So have a good one, everybody!
-- and semi-hiatus starts now! --

Let me not be confused forever.
ps: Can you imagine Christopher Columbus saying that? Just imagine him on his ship, looking at the stars and trying to figure out which was North and said, "let me not be confused forever." I wouldn't know if I was supposed to panic or laugh if I were on that ship!
