The day the earth stood still

Went to Alamanda with nana the other day. had lunch at secret recipe. i had chicken bleu and nana had a new not-yet-on-the-menu steak dish. so, we ate and talked and laughed ourselves full. after settling the bills, we received 2 movie-ticket redemptions. WAAA!! Bedariknyer! Tgk wayang free!! So we went straight up to redeem our tickets and opted for "the day the earth stood still", which was premiering the next day. how cool is that?! Keanu Reeves...*drools*
by the way. twas a great movie. could've made a better ending though..tp ok la.

A GRUELING TASK. not for the faint-hearted

Ok. Here's the deal. I'm on a mission. A mission to preserve the art of ketupat-anyaming.

Celebrated aidiladha recently, so semangat tu tiba2 dtg when my roomate, kak just bought some of those daun utk wat ketupat. i was determined. i was set.

With the little help from my housemates....

Tenaciously, i began.

5 minutes later

not too bad...not bad at all....

10 minutes later..


ok. i think i got it now..Yep. Easy Peasy!


hrrrrmmmm...on second thought........


BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD PEOPLE!!!!


As u can see in the pictures above, i seem to hv a bit of a fight with the lil creature, hancor dan layu daun2 dibuatnyer.

So i figured i need a new pair of leaves(is that wat u call 'em? leaves??) Since the ones i had wouldn't cooperate..

Here goes.

Chants *I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.*

Darn it! Did i just invent a new ketupat-plaiting method? didn't think the tails are supposed to be coming out from the same end like that. @$^%*^#$%@#!!!

ok. I'm ok. I'm gonna get it. For sure this time. ok.


*GASP!* Need I say more? Who's da man? I'm the man.



Incredible. i know.

Realizing my talent, i decided to try a different kind of anyam.






Aha. I'm goooood.................





Oooohh!!
Met KungFu Panda at alamanda last weekend



I would've hugged him if i could change myself into a kid.
Really I would.

Come to think of it, I was terrified of those huge larger-than-life monsters when i was little.
Ran away from Minnie Mouse once. Hmmph.

FUUIIIIYOOOHHHWAAAIIIICCCAHHHHH!!!

Wah gempak tak tajuk? saje je nk bg saspen walaupon saya percaya kalu orang baca pon mesti tak timbul sebarang perasaan yg teruja atau terharu whatsoever..tp takpe. i mmg seorang yg sgt suka syookk sendiri. dalam pada itu, i jg seorang yg lupa daratan, kacang lupakan kulit dan cik tenggiling. huhu...long story.

it's been quite some time tak update kan? haritu cuti lama balik rumah. sbb kontrak dh habis. ni br sambung blk. kat rumah, nk online pon tak berkesempatan. maklumla...kalu tak jd suri rumah. asyik tgk tv je. alangkah bahagianyer duniaku. pastu dok ulang-alik pg miri sbb tahlil arwah kakek.

o'ol pun br habis SPM so dia pon dgn seronoknyer meninggalkan sekolah bersama-sama kotak2 dn bagasi yg banyak ya amat. (tp blum dpt kalahkan kakak dia time blaja dulu huhu)

hmm...tak lama lg dh nk raya haji. tak balik nmpk gayanya sbb br je blk kan. lgpon tiket skrg ni smkin membuak-buak harganya.

wedding invitations pon tak henti2 coming my way. which my mom responds with a rather curious question...when will the wedding cards be coming their way?? hmm...very curious indeed.

still havent finish reading "a prayer for owen meany". haiiyjjooo...lmbtnyer budak ni bc. mcm tenggiling. again, long story.

We miss u so much gramps..

my dear grandfather just passed away. he went on a holy friday, november the 7th, 2008. and i didnt get to see him before he died... ;(


terkilan giler. i was merely two days late. my flight was scheduled on the 9th and so i was late.

Al-FATIHAH...

ghayer lagi

neena n jie.

*me looking exceptionally kindhearted, modest and loving*

and another one..

a brave attempt nk buat kelainan dlm hidup. did it work? u tell me.




Errr. no comment.

My 24th on the 24th...

It's October 24th already?? seems like it was only yesterday i celebrated my 23rd bday. and today i'm 24. on the 24th. And the time is 10.24 am. Like october 24.ok. stop it. ignore me.

A year older. Wiser? hmm...that's something to think about.




We celebrated (perasan) had lunch kat pizza hut. and i shamelessly requested for a birthday cake pancake from the waiter person, saying that it's my birthday (it said so on the menu..."if it's yr bday, you get a free birthday cake"....i promise! tak tipu...)




neena...tolong hulurkan senyuman yg lebih ikhlas.




nana, jie n meg.


*the thumbs ups belong to me and nisa..*



meg n shashi


bday girl and her 'pizza hut not-so-pan cakey birthday cake'

OOooooh!! my birthday presents..




From Meg,




bday card yg sangggat commmbelll...







and this...






with this inside..

This is what i thot it was. = A cat wearing a top hat.

And naturally, i was wrong. meg corrected me and showed me what it really is.

= a cat cushiony thingy to put your phone in. see? cute kan?
*i know. i know. try yr best to ignore the ugly phone. concentrate on the cute cat, ok.*



And from jie,




A pretty mug. Yes. I am considerate. Indeed. *vomits*


and some other stuff.


Thanks everyone! luv ya!

banjir kilaT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sound effect bunyi guruh*.........

fuihhh...sgt mendasyatkan!

first time mengalami perkara yg sedemikian rupa. panic bagai nak rak kasut!! Lihat!


Okay...that wasn't exactly how it looked like but yes. mmg keta tenggelam sampai 3 quarters of the tyres (maknenyer macam air tu sampai separuh tayar bulat tu, tapi tinggi sikit. leh imejin x? )

ok. enuff with the tyres, back to the banjir kilat. ok. mlm tu (around maghrib), jie(my hsemate) saje je menjenguk keadaan di luar rumah memandangkan hujan tak berhenti dari td. tetiba kitorang pon tenganger dgn luasnyer dan menjerit dgn agak kuatnyer (lupa nk bgtau, i pon sibuk menjenguk skali kat blakang jie) apabila melihat keadaan keta2 kat dpn umah yg hampir ditenggelami air, tp nasib baik tidak, cuma tenggelam 3 per 4 daripada paras tayar yang bulat itu (ok neena, pls stop with the freaking tyres).

setelah mendengar jeritan kami, maka nana and wana ( my other 2 hsemates) pn begegas sambil berkata "what's the commotion??" @ "pesal??" we didnt hv to say anything. lps tu, semua pn begegas amik kunci keta dan begegas pegi mendapatkan kereta masing2. (me saying screaming with pain, "MY BRAND NEW CAR!!!!!")

masa kuar tu, air dpn umah dh sampai takat 3/4 (okay, i really should stop with the fraction tutorial) daripada betis. pastukan...masa kitorang begerak mengharungi banjir ke arah keta msg2, kelihatan sampah sarap yg berbagai bentuk dan saiz ($#*!%) men lalu...je kat depan kitorang dengan muka takde perasaan. EEEEE. YEWWWW.

masuk je dlm keta (sambil bersyukur sbb mash ada plastik sbg alas kaki sbb blom beli kapet getah (kapet getah??!?? taktau pe nama mende alah) tangan terus menggigilgigil tak ingat dunia. kitorang pon memandu dgn selonyer (sbb nana kata kena slo2) mencari tapak yg tidak ditenggelami 3/4......ok2. tapi masa tu, the only thing that's been going on in my mind is "nak kuar serdang!! mmg nebes smbl menelefon ayah dan sebagainyer. banyak kali jugak la stuck sbb air semakin mengganas. tgk kat tepi jalan seberang dh ada keta yg dh tenggelam 2/4 @1/2 @ separuh @ setengah (bukan tayar! tapi kereta.)

time stuck2 tu la nana tesempak mamat hensem wakaka!!! *laughing jealously 'lady-like'ly*

lepas tu me and nana lepak kat luar taman sri serdang (tak jauh pon) smbil menunggu air surut. pastu nk blk air msh tak surut2. pastu pegi lepak umah kak emy mkn kek coklet ngan air neslo *drools*

balik je umah...kitorang kena cuci TOILETSSS!!! (notice the 'S' es? that means we had to clean THREE freakin toilets!! ) sbb air masuk dr mana ntah. (hopefully bukan dr lobang mangkok tandas @#$%^ sori men'tett' uhuhu)

and we wash and scrub the toilets happily *grinch grin* all through the night.


THE END.

She's here!

She's here. She's finally here. my baby ;)

born: october 11th 2008
colour: black

when i first saw her. she was drenched. it was a downpour before i came and get her. poor thing. sedih jek tgk dia dlm keadaan sebegitu ghuper. nonetheless, i'm very very thankful. syukur Alhamdulillah....tak semua orang dapat peluang macam ni. like my father said, "now you don't have to rely on others anymore". he's definitely right.

It's not that i was in desperate need of a car....it's just that i'm tired of having to ask for help each time i get errands from my supervisor, having to frantically search for a cab everytime one of my parents came over to kl so i can meet them before it gets dark, having to be drenched and shivering in the rain to meet my dad in kl, having to ask for a ride or call a cab just to get to the commuter station, having to wait for the weekend just so i can go out on my own and withdraw some money....hmmm...but i'm thankful. it wasn't the best life but i know there's always someone out there who's got it much much worst than me.

and now, it's like a huge truck has been lifted away from my shoulders..now i can go over to my aunt's by myself without them having to pick me up and send me back. now i can go back to jb by myself without having to ride with my aunt's family and getting her children all crammed up coz of my oversized urrmm...you-know-what (my hips never tell a lie lol) and my luggage...?....u don't wanna know.

wanna see how she looks like? here she is.....

TADAAAAA!!!!!!



pose, darling, pose...that's it! gimme more attitude!!! ;p

even though her tag (plate no) wasn't exactly what i would have hoped for, -we were at wits end trying to somehow get my fav numbers on her but i guess it just wasn't meant to be...maybe my next car? *wink wink*- i'm beyond grateful. *extra huge grin*


TOO.LARGE.TO.HUG.

lama pulak tak update...

aritu, raya tak blk swk..blk jb je...maklomla...orang dah lupa daratan mmg mcm ni...uhuhu..
those are a couple of the 'routine' pictures yg kitorang mst amik kat tpt yg sama, posisi yg sama every year...

this year tak blk kampung kat pontian..atas sbb2 yg tak dpt dielakkan. insyaAllah there won't be any problems as such lepas ni..*wink wink*

raya kat jb mmg best...sbb all my extended family duduk sebumbung...kecoh gak dgn suara nenek yg membebel kat cucu2 dia non-stop. huhu...tapi kitorang ni semua dh kira baik dah. berbudi pekerti mulia gitu. tapi tak sah pulak kalu tak dengar dia membebel. bagaikan tak lengkap hidup ini rasanya...oh nenek. kaulah pujaan hatiku. ngeee...
