am on a self-proclaimed break from a back-breaking task of making kuihs.. argghh! to be honest, i absolutely loathe making kuihs, cooking. well basically i hate doing anything which requires me to pay my utmost attention. i have a very short attention span, heehee. but i have to do this & deprive myself of my beauty sleep cos 1) it is my duty to help my mama who is already so worn out from making kuihs ALL DAY (i dunno how she did it) and 2) cos im also making kuihs for mama abg. heehee. can u believe it one fine sunny day she smsed me asking if im making kuihs tis year, and tat she actually wanna BUY from me?? ermm.. i dont even noe if its that good to be sold so i kindly declined, but offered to give her for free instead. buat malu jer, org dah bayar den skali biler makan ter-gag pulak. where to put my tembam face? *hee*
so without guidance (mama dah membuta), im more than determined to make this work. just pray that i dont fall asleep on the couch while the kuihs are in the oven. abg knows me well enough to know that these shits happen to me all the time. yes, im THAT selenger.
okie i just realised that i have little patience wen it comes to teaching. there's this new colleague who is understudying me, and after a few days i found her close to impossible! its so hard to drill some knowledge into her and she's freaking 22! it could be that my teaching method is not effective enough. but still! i have a load of patients waiting & a time quota to hit and she can shower me with a million questions, questioning my every move & my every instructions! it drives me up, down & back up the wall. seriously...
but patience is a virtue.. and sesungguhnya aku berpuasa.. so i managed to calm my ownself down. hehehe.. next week's another week with her and if after 2 weeks there is still no blog post in here, then im already strapped in a strait jacket.
today we went down to bugis.. broke fast at tong seng, had my all time favourite laksa with extra cockles & no taugeh. abg ate nasi ayam & also ordered siew mai. 2 1/2 for me & 2 1/2 for him. grr cannot finish! *jotos*
and then to the movies next. watched mirrors, and i think its pretty good. terperanjat bubu! the last i saw myself in the mirror, i grew quite expectant of certain beings behind me and such, or my own face distorted. ooo scary mary..
okay i need to get back to my kuihs and hopefully finish it up before sahur. im feeling quite sleepy already.. *boohoo*
sleep tite syg bubu yg kena gi work later. heehee.
i found myself repeating the same song over & over again these few days. this one song brought me some inner peace. so here i would like to share the song which i have grown to love.. good things are to be shared, afterall. :)
go ahead, click on it. may u feel what i feel. wish i have it on mp3 though, instead of having to log in to imeem just to listen to it.
p/s: oh i wud also like to add.. my headache is back! :(
i have a new peribahasa.. "tunggu abang update, is the day i get over my coulrophobia." go and pandai2 find the meaning..
i've finally cut my hair short on saturday.. quite short for the normal me.. even abg was surprised.. kekeke.. sorry bushuk.. so rimas.. love you. and i keep trying to touch my phantom waist-length hair, onli to realise that it trails up to my shoulders.. and then it hit me: its short! so short! (im just being a drama queen) but i love it, cos finally i got rid of the many split-ends, and my head feels so much lighter now. woohooey!
and abg cut his hair too! so short too! heehee.. it made him really insecure, asking me each & everytime if he looked like an egg.. no darling, u dont look like an egg. aper ajer.. u look like kinder bueno surprise.. u noe, the chocolate egg which holds toys inside of it? at least better than the normal eggs kan.. it means ure sweet.. ohh my bucuk2.. :) [i can see u gritting ur teeth.. kekeke]
eh wait.. patient asking for toilet.
okay back!
we broke fast at cahaya, got seats about 5 mins upon our arrival, which was quite fast considering the amount of ppl breaking their fast there. ate my favourite prawn noodle soup & abg had the dry version.. PLUS you tiao.. oohh yummayyy!!
jalan2 for awhile before we head on to geylang.. forget about going there taking private transport.. argghh how can i forget?? too ghairah to find our baju raya, kuihs & singkong.. quite a wasted trip..
i reached home about 12 plus.. woke up for sahur at 445am, and then abg called me up at 630, telling me that we're going to meet faizal at 8am, so he's fetching me at about 730 liddat.. told him to wake me up at 7am instead.. heehee..
siao.. like time kerja liddat.. so one whole week i wake up at 7.. grrr bushuk punyer abg.. dragged me to see his car accessories at jb.. cos im the financial advisor.. i determine wat can be bought and what cant.. kekeke. MWAH!
eh jap jap.. got work.. heehee
okie backy! argghh patient's coming at 11am and my doctor have to finish writing the reports at 10am.. and now i have to slog away trying to compile everything.. my doctor eh, mintak kena jotos..
argghh i cant concentrate blogging seyy.. why ppl must pay $144.45 using cash?? waitwait i count money first..
okok im back for good.. weeEEeee! continue, so ya abg fetched me and then we waited for faizal at his block.. janji 8am, den he came down at 8:40am.. hmph! i kira one okay!! heehee..
causeway was a little congested.. slow moving traffic.. faizal drove ahead of us but we reached earlier than him.. kekeke..
abg changed his exhaust!! now his car sounds abit garang.. heehee.. eleh, suke lah tu suke lah tu.. costs RM800+.. i forgot how much the + is.. but thats it, no more spending.. degil kepala batu.. wait come march no money how?? grrrr..
faizal finally broke his fast.. hahaha! tak sampai zuhur.. tsktsk..
we went to wash abg's 2 weeks old but very berabuk car next.. for RM8, i say they did a very good job.. kudos to the unsung heroes.. :)
and then its back home where we slept till noon, and then abg met me for 5 mins before he went to work.. 5 mins pon jadi.. hahaha.. seriously! the clock in abg's car showed 625pm, which onli leaves us with 5 mins cos he normally leave for work at 630pm. hahah.. haiyah..
bought a big bottle of green tea for him.. my poor shweet little shoogumsboogums..
ayah bought fried crabs, ikan kerapu & mee hongkong from lestari for the 4 of us.. i just succeeded halfway through my mee hongkong and then i gave up. too much for the fasting tummy.. heehee.. but i still managed to eat the chocolate cookies my mum made, which tasted and smelt like famous amos, and brownies too.. dap nyer.. weeEEeee! u gotta love them chocolates!
i was too full after buka that i slept on the couch watching herbie straight to sahur.. aiyooo.. woke up to messages & missed calls.. my poor darling.. i quickly msged sorry to him.. kekeke..
okay i nid to end tis now. tired of typing from just now u noe.. heehee.. and people, today is civil defence day. later if u hear alarm dont panic hor.. kekeke.
and darling, my numero uno.. Я тебя люблю. see you later syg, same place kat belakang, oni abit late okie? MWAH!
if truth be told, im rather, ermm.. hungry rite now. i onli had one piece of kebab for buka & i didnt get up for sahur today. actually i did get up when the alarm went off at 445am but thot i'd snooze for 5 mins ltr, and then i awoke to find that it was already 6:19am. ehem. bongok.
to make things worse, there's this random girl who messaged me on facebook asking where i took the display pic at. it was at ami's cafe/restaurant, and as u can guess, we started talking about restaurants. and ermm.. my mind sorta drift to food next. ouh have mercy! but nvm.. i'll persevere. cobaan.. as abg normally puts it. its only about 7.5 hours (SEVEN-POINT-FIVE HOURS!!) to break-fast. ehem.
talking about facebook, i urged friends to rsvp xiaxue's party at thumper on facebook. haha! just for the fun of it jelah. kan lagi bulan puasa, so cannot go clubbing. *innocent look*
so hows ur Ramadhan everyone? think mine have been great so far! havent "buang" any yet, Alhamdulillah. this Ramadhan im hoping to save money.. first week have been good as i only broke my fast at home. but once the money is out it cant stop! started spending on friday, cos my mum wasnt around due to overtime. thus i have to find something to eat for my bro and i. spent on macdonalds. but tats ok. sunday, bought burger ramly & donuts for the fam and then yesterday, i bought kebab, which is so ex! eh wait eh, kebab pakai duit abg so doesnt count. hiakhiakhiak!
we've been to geylang sipaku geylang (geylang!!).. sadly, it was kinda disappointing as all i saw is what i've seen in the previous years. no change? boohoo.. but funnily enough, tat is also the reason why i keep wanting to go there. i think its the atmosphere, never mind the fact tat i need not even look at the clothes hanging here & there for i already know what to expect. i think its the people bustling & jostling their way around, looking for their hari raya needs, never mind the fact tat it gets way annoying at times. :)
saw a few people, waved a few people, handshaked a few people. i feel happy that nite, Alhamdulillah.
but then it rained rather heavily. big boohoo! my mood took a downturn almost immediately, esp with abg constantly asking where i wanna go. i dont know! it was raining and i wanna walk yet i dont know where to go! hrmph.
saw ayat-ayat cinta and made a mental note to purchase it before we head home. saw kebab, and turkish icecream. saw char kway sotong & burgers. nanti beli, nanti beli. but in the end, i accomplished nothing. lupa, malas & just dont want.
but i managed to get something i havent had in a few years... telur penyu! kekeke.. yummyyummyyumyum! as much as i am on the almost-extinct species conserving side, i couldnt fight the temptation. finally!! okok, no more k?
right, just for the record, i DID get to watch ayat2 cinta. finally bought the dvd.. heehee. some of my friends said that the movie is not as good as the novel. hmm.. anyone agrees? and now can anyone tell me where i can find the novel?
thot i have something to share but it slipped my mind. dahlah, save it for another time. im going to take an hour's nap soon. to stop my head from thinking of fooood. to distract this tummy from grumbling. kekeke.. good afternoonight all.
to my bucuk who is sleeping, pemalas giler nk update, i love you. cannot chom cos tgh puasa. heehee. *virtual kiss* (mcm anakmelayu).
wahwahwah... i can hear crickets, i can see cobwebs forming on this blog already. well unlike some people (you noe who, thr's just the two of us), my internet connection is again on strike. feeling2 bangkok's state of emergency gitu lah. argghh frustration, frustration! i feel like chucking the laptop, battery's not included, down the rubbish chute for good. gerammmm!!
aaaanyway, Happy Ramadhan to all! time sure flies eh.. tau2 da puasa lagi. Alhamdulillah, i am well enough to fast. this Ramadhan, im seeking peace. too much have been happening in my life lately and i think its all going at bullet-train speed. im slowing down, catching up with myself, and making sure im surrounded by the people i love & care for. Insya Allah..
hmm.. i feel like renovating this blog.. yelah, sempena hari raya yg bakal menjelang ni. but i like this as it is. and my lappytoppy takder photoshop. bluek.. see how la later.
okay since im in the mood, im going to furnish this blog with some pictures taken from the past events, since abg si kaki komplen kips telling me our blog is too wordy. hrmph! effort!!
FIREWORKS CRUISE i noe, abit basi. but i can still feel the excitement.. woot!
my nails for the nite; nude pink base with white dots. and pls eh, stop asking if i used liquid paper on my nails. NO, NEVER.
the ticket to the most romantic date ever. hahah, for me at least. :)
dlm byk2 mi, mi aper yg kita tk bole mkn? teehee.
just the two of us. but of course lah kan. tkkan nk panggil awak ikut. menyemak jer.
yay! the boat tongkang which is going to bring us to our destination is finally here!!
psychedelic much? heheh. btw i just realised singapore is breathtakingly beautiful.
we're in the boat already! muka aku excited tak? teehee.
reached the destination.. waiting..
still waiting..
this is exactly the distance between us & the fireworks-fire-place (aku tak taulah the correct term). quite near kan? yes.. thus the best view. :)
okie moving on please..

MAS' 22ND BDAE
it was an advanced birthday celebration.. her birthday's on the 29th, but out of courtesy to her family & husband, we decided to celebrate it earlier. earlier by one day supposedly. but we were all too excited to meet, so we finally made an impromptu decision to meet that very nite, 26th of august.
the four of us gedebaks have to squeeze into mas's cute little savvy (she tukar normal plate aledi, RAID!).. bday girl have to drive us, no choice. cos we cant possibly squeeze on fiza's bike right.. and neither can we tumpang sheila's chevrolet cos ehem, she got herself into a minor accident at the carpark & her side mirror broke. hahah! and myself, si tak guna ni, have no vehicle on my own, and im not intending to have it anytime soon. maybe until i finally find the time to get my butt into that driving school. for now, im going to bask in the luxuries of being a 21 year old taitai. teehee.
where its at *stomachs growling*
to start off.
calamari rings! i loooove them!
food, glorious food!
happy 22nd babe..
before i proceed, let me tell u abit about this friend of mine..
our acquaintance first started at the canteen of peiying primary school. when i first got to know her, i thot i'd have no chance of being friends with her. i was a total dork with big specs, big converse bag (diamlah korang!), a VERY long skirt, a thick file i hold in my hands always and i dont talk unnecessarily. completed the dork image already? wait. i have crew cut hair. NOW YOU CAN LAUGH!!!
well, she was the exact opposite; pretty with naturally brown hair, a dimple on her cheek, stylish & she's always getting attention both from girls & boys of the school. no chance at all..
she was in a different class, so it was difficult to talk to each other. but when we do, it would be so chaotic! still, we remained only passing friends.
till now, i still wonder how we got so close. but i think it shud be bcos we got into the same secondary school. together, we entered yishun sec, again in different classes & streams. i joined my then-dork gangs in the express class, while she joined the "middle-class", as we like to call it, normal acad stream.
but we continued to talk, then random talks became confidings. we started going home together, as she lives just 2 blocks away from me. we hung out together and held sleepovers every now & then, normally at her place. her family knew mine, and vice versa, so its even easier for us to spend time with each other (you know, curfews).
things fall apart sometimes. and that was the case with our friendship. we started hanging out with others, we started neglecting each other but before the whole friendship string broke, we realised our mistakes and made up, by writing each other letters, no less. hah, those times. i jus realised we were so gay & kental back then. hahaha!
her parents called us kawan baik & kawan jahat. well, tats cos we got into the same good & bad situations everytime. we got into the same madrasah (persatuan islam), but she quitted halfway whilst i carried on to takhasus 3. we go to terawih together, masjid darul makmur, masjid an-nahdhah, masjid kampong.. just the two of us. and on the other side, we started smoking, clubbing, drinking, also together. the tatt incident? also the same.. hahaha!
but we've toned down over the years. and now, eventhough we have different priorities in life, we know that no matter how far we try to go, we'll still end up at the same place. so that's it for you. my 11 years of friendship with her in just a few paragraphs. i'd have to write a book if i were to write everything that has happened between us, and you'll have to buy, padan muka. heehee.
in short, she's been such a great friend and im not afraid to say that i love her, as the greatest friend one would ever want & need in their lives. sure, she's very annoying at times (haha!) but she's the only one who can tolerate my temper, she knows what ticks me off, she knows what i like, basically, she knows everything about me. i need not utter a single word, she would know it all. thats my bestfriend for you.
okie enough mushy2-ing.. more pictures.
action blow jer. eleh. so vain.
us four.. it feels like onli yesterday we were donning the yishun sec sch uniform.. miss those times. awww...
ehem. there's my pay in there.

after filling our stomachs, we went to the dam for some catching up and a rolling good time. and we got exactly that! we had so much fun just enjoying each other's company, laughing and going all tingtong.. here are some pictures to prove.

NEW CAR!!
how much? guess lah.
goodbye pika, hello mishi/mickey! i was reluctant to let pika go, but after sensing the frustrations abg had with it, i noe i have to. 2 plus years with it, and now its gone. my sweet little problem-maker. dark clouds hovered around my eyes wen we walked away from it for the last time, and abg just HAVE to let the rain fall. argghh!! and so i cried, smacksmack abg, cried again & smacksmack abg again. hrmph!
this was a posed pic. i wasnt crying. AFTER this pic, i cried. hahaha. gembeng anak khamis ni.
tengok ah dier buat muka kesian!!
well helloooo beautiful! *wolfwhistles*
and biasalah, we cant separate the men from their machines. so once they got their hands on the car, siap lah.
godeh-godeh 1. godeh-godeh 2. godeh-godeh 3.
ehem. neglecting me nmpk?
orite next up is supposed to be amin & nad's bdae party but my comp kan buat hal so save that for next time yah? right, which reminds me, there was a clown at their place lah!! i sat in nad's bedroom ajer, not wanting to go out. mama & nenek laughed at me, insists i come out of the room cos the clown didnt have any face paint on. huh? how they noe im afraid of facepaints? heehee. so i took a sneaky peek and guess what i saw?? THE RED NOSE!! i ran back into nad's room lah what else. okay so now i noe what triggers the phobia. its the red nose, the hair & the facepaint. cos after the setengah-masak clown took off his red nose, there i was all eager to face him & ask him for balloons. well he did play a prank on me while i was walking past him. heehee. abg kinda mad cos the freaking balloon-blowing clown costs about $200. wasted!
oh btw, i didnt noe they are going to hold a surprise bday party for nad.. tot they're going to do for both amin & nad. lucky i nvr say anything. i almost wanted to ask her,"why arent u dressed nicely for ur party?". nk eksyen marah lah konon. ahaha! aku slalu party pooper tau.
right, i just took like what, a few hours to do this up? transitioning from work to ebuddy to blogging and back again. heehee.. good life, aye? i think i wanna get the shut-eye now. i wanna sleep, on the sofa in the ecg room.. to avoid thinking of the hunger & thirst. heehee. okie dokie.. good afternoon nappy!
p/s: mas is discussing the best yong tau foo now on msn. nk mintak kena ketuk kepalanya. pp/s: today nk buka aper? like wanna watch movie olso. ABANG!!!
