Goodbye And Hello

It's the last day of the year. And I woke up to this scenery.

It was just snowflakes. Thank god for that. I only like snow when it suits me hahah Like when I want to go snowboarding or take pix. But other than that, don't like la.

Becoz, this miss yuki will cause the pavements to be wet and messy. I hate. Snow is just frozen rain. Kesian the rain coz it's always been overlooked. Hmm You can do without one but not without the other. Guess which is which :p

Anyway, here's wishing you, you and you a Happy New Year 2009. Here's to more adventures. And to more heartbreaks (~~~ ngeeee)

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls, the most massive characters are seared with scars

The Road To M0narchy

The first time I read abt it was when I blog hopped to one of the blogs. The reason I went to her blog was becoz of the headline anyway. Then, @sn@ wrote about it. Then Syid33. Then Ckg F@uzi wrote me an email telling me about it.

Of coz it's a big news in my state. Especially in the area where I used to work in. I still remember if there were any functions in that royal area sure la the kids from school had to go. To perform or to simply ramaikan audience :D Nk pulak we used his name for the name of the school kan?

And I tot it was a sure win for his son to own the throne. But I forgot that, unlike other states, we have that 4 special men. Who some say have mightier power than the one on the throne as they are the decision makers of the state.

It was clearly shown when they chose another to be the ruler of the state. Interesting innit?

On another front, PMR results came out today. According to some informers, 96 got straight As. 3ng did very well according to my HOD, K D1l@. Congrats. To both teachers and students.

One is over. Another one is gonna come. In March rite? That's the time to know whether the school makes it or breaks it.

p/s: Nak kene si @mir nih. Biler pulak I said if the whole Set 1 got 8As, I will give them a treat. Sheesh But cannot kong that @mir as he has moved to other school nih. Hmm

Complete

Yeay finally I have finished doing my puasa ganti wohoo And with a couple of days to spare. Though that was cutting it too close. Must not do that again next year.

Why exactly when you are fasting, you tend to browse recipe sites more often? Hmm Heran kan? hehe

Anyway, for the couple of days that I was fasting, I had this rajin mood. A bit la. If too much, I wouldn't be me

no idea why cannot rotate grrr

I only have two colours but by looking at the rice, blue dominated. Not only the cook was feeling blue, the rice pun mau jugak. And 'was' is the operative word kay?

s@g0 gula mel@k@

Only by doing it, I realised that it is indeed a simple recipe. Cheh. Though Fit@h tried telling me this once. But then simple is one thing, rajin is another kan? :D

curry puff

Decided to finish the last potion of my minced meat. And owh, I heard chef besar had cooking class today on how to do karipap pusing. So warga S@ij0 yg dah gi class tuh, boley la buat for any coming potluck nanti heheh (sebab saya adalah malas but want to eat heheh)

And I thought I don't want to go out of the house until the new year comes. But my SPis3 friends have called for a party. And this SPiS3 girl tries her darndest not to miss any chance to berhorey-horey.

Yeah @sn@, expect more pix of food :p

(Y0u Want) To Mak3 A M3m0ry

I was busy updating my scrapbook when I realised that I only have 3 more pages to go. Looks like I need to get a new book as I'm sure there will be lots to be pasted as time passes by. Looking back at the book also reminded me how time flew and soon I will find myself home.

It has been a good run this year. Obstacles? Yeah. Sweet memories? Hell yeah.

And for the rest of the distance, I'm hoping it will be greater. And sweeter. I may not be a great runner, but I'll try to keep up. I may fall once in a while but there are other runners who will be willing to help me up, I'm sure.

Macho Man (sic)

Photo ops are a must whenever we have gathering here. But then even it's not a gathering pun, we take photos like anything heheh

Not everyone is a camwhore like us. But last nite, some had been successfully forced to do some poses. Susah woo Some tried to get out of it but almost all did the poses hehhe Dictator gilos

Though some are quite used to posing :D Sapa eh?

ada yg cam berdoa pun ada heheh

baik punya pose :D

Deep down, I know they really want to do the poses just that they are afraid that the others would mock them. Thus they need to pose macho all the time. Tapi x per, if you think you need a cover line, just tell your friends that we forced you to do it. No problemo :p

Cheer Up, Good Times Are Comin'

By 3, I was already ready as I thought we would be going there soon. But no, not until it was almost 5 and even then we had to make a mad dash to Y0um3. Gilos.

So when we arrived at the white house (hahah Pres kan?), we quickly did what we had to do. And by typing this I just realised that I forgot to bring back my knife. Sheesh Later la.

Even after all the chopping and cutting, the boys had not arrived. My stomach was already hungry so dengan x malu I ate nasi himpit first. Cannot tahan maa. I hate waiting. Especially doing it on an empty stomach.

Then the boys came and it was time to start.

some food prepared

food models

I brought my new cam but as I was still new to it, I wasn't really sure what dial to use and all. Those are some of the shots taken using my cam. The rest of the party was captured using G7. One of the models in the same series like the one I'm having :D

It was very tiring eating, I must tell ya. My jeans felt snug. Makan sajer. How la not to gain weight?

It was a good party. Even the one who claimed to speak only once a year to females was quite vocal heheh The funny part must be when he was the one who cracked jokes abt himself :p

And the boys had been forced to pose for the shots taken. Some were sporting while some tried very hard to look macho and all cheh

But I felt a bit blue. Ada ke tgk Cr1min@l M1nds (while waiting for the car to arrive) boley sedey? Bosan This must be the signs nih. Watch out or you'll get a flying kick! huhu

And as I was about to log off, Jul3s buzzed me. Just a few minutes of yakking then she bade me goodnite. But before that, she said 'Don't bring in the blues too much kid'. I didn't even tell her anything.

Dems. I hate C@ncerians. They are intuitive bunch.

It's Never Easy To Say Goodbye

Woke up extremely late today (yeah, what else is new). Just after I switched on the lappie, I heard the bell rang. I expected @m@z0n to come by this week but usually the delivery will be later in the day. Not this early.

So dengan serabai and all, I opened the door and found a delivery man. I was thinking that @m@zon really outdid themselves this time by being so early.

Only then I realised, the name on the package.

Hahaha Giler lawak. I definitely didn't write that on my @m@zon so that package must be of something that I had been waiting for. The delivery man stopped in his bid trying to explain on how much that I had to pay when I burst out laughing.

What was in the package?

My new camera. No idea how to use it yet. I'm yet to read the manual. Need to read the one that I had downloaded from the net. Even the manual is actually for a model prior to the one that I have. I guess the latest one is not on the net yet. The one that I got in the box of coz la in Nihong0. Lagi la cam haram

There goes my savings for this month. But when I think that the plan was indeed to buy a new one this month, my head relented. How easy it is to spend rather than save eh?

Daylight Fading

It was quite a headache to plan a trip when the usual victims are unavailable. But someone did her very best in rounding up people. And thanks to her power of persuasion , we got 2 willing drivers.

Though it would be their first time heading to uncharted territory. Doesn't matter. As long as they are able and willing :D

The fact that the wagon has no navi made it quite difficult but luckily Cik I has an I-phone. So he relied on that in getting to the place that we were heading to. However due to the amateurism, we kept being derailed from the real route.

I remember asking Pres until what time that we would have to declare that the trip had failed? She didn't answer me though. She had to remain positive I guess.

The only illumination that we could see were the lights on the highway ok? That was the time when some of us made a joke by asking the others to take pix of the road lights as they would be the only illumination that we would see.

The journey felt so long. I felt like we were on our endless quest. The fact that the sun had disappeared made the feeling more prominent.

But then they did say that 'Success is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration' That was proved when we finally arrived at the park. After all the U-turns and mistakes in reading the map. Wohoo. Happy giler.

The moment we got out of the car, we felt the cold seeping in. My fingers felt numb and while walking, I could feel some prickling sensation on my thighs. Gilos. There were many people around but of coz we stuck out like a sore thumb.

It was indeed a beautiful sight. And we camwhored like anything. The best part was when everyone did what was asked. I meant, the poses. So it was very fun taking pix of a bunch of lunatics

nak jugak ngan maskot :p

Look at my eyes. That's what happened when I had to hold my eyes open until B's cam went off.
Lama giler ok?

the whole rombongan

After we took the last pix, only then people who came in groups tried taking pix in groups. If not, only couples took pix there hahha We were the trend setter la kiranya last nite.

Albeit it was cold but such grand time we had. Tomorrow, I mean today, we will have another project to do hehehe There are so many projects to do but oh so little time :D

I'd L13

Before anything, I just read Mr. Manager's post, the one about N@bil and the curry puff. Wah, aper mimpi semua org nogori buat curry puff nih? *semua = exaggeration :p

Ada gak org utara buat curry puff today heheh And when she said she did it coz she felt tempted after looking at the pix on my blog, I took that as a compliment. Chef besar has spoken heheh

Anyway, this entry is not about that. I just wanted to talk about one issue that came up last night.

I do understand his point in asking that question to his female friends. He wanted to be extra careful in speaking in case that the girls were in their sensitive mode.

Just that I don't think it's a classy way of asking that particular subject. I mean, how would you respond if some guy asks you on whether you are having period pain?

If someone asked me that, I would give one kind of look. Or I would lie by cracking some lame jokes. Or worse, I'd sock his eyes out.

I had the weirdest and craziest bunch of guys in my class when I was in high school. They even provided us with s3x education tuh. Theory wise ok? I remember one day when R@vi brought condom to class which later in the day had turned into a balloon gilos

But crazy as they were (still are), the girls never got asked of this question. They showed, despite being a crazy bunch, they still had class.

To Raise The Morning Star

After all the curry puff business finished, Pres suggested going singing. I jumped at that suggestion as I had been wanting to go since a few weeks before.

We went around 5 sthg and wanted to take the free time. Cis, x leh lak as free time only starts at 8. Whatever. It was about 3 hours to go so we just decided to go ahead.

This time, the club welcomed a newbie to the club heheh By 8, the counter called asking whether we wanted to continue. And if we wanted to, we had to pay first. But seriously, I think this new place is much more expensive than the old one. Benci je

When we started the second session, D0d0k called and asked whether it was ok to join. He just got back from that failed inter-two-countries badminton tournament. Failed as only one Msian showed up for the showdown against the whole team of 1nd0n3s1@ns hahha

And when he arrived, the membership of the club has officially expanded to other nation :D How's that for good promotion? huhu

You should have seen how he sang. Menci la the pix didn't come out good. He looked like that cat beckoning for money :D But after further analysis, that was how the boys looked like when they played badminton the other day. Why eh?

He got a good voice. One thing I like about having guys around when singing as that I would have a friend when it comes to voice range hahha My voice is low maa. When the other has a low voice, I would try to make mine slightly higher. Gedik I know.

That's why I like when Cik H is around for karaoke session. Cannot la sing Pres punye lagu, tinggi gilos. Cik H felt slighted when he knew we were karaoke-ing. Helloooo ko baru balik snowboarding ok?

camtuh sgt lak ai isk

And at what time did we get back? At 3 am. And that was only when Pres couldn't just hold her eyes open anymore. 9 hours of singing man! We paid 3 thou and bit for both sessions.

When it was time to go back, she came back with me. The first thing we did upon arrival? Makan nasik hahah

I planned to stay up until Subuh so while waiting I watched a movie. In the end, I slept at 630. Opened my eyes slightly at 10 sthg when I heard someone tried to sneak out of the house quietly heheh

Craving (I Only Want What I Can't Have)

Adalah orang nih who had been so publicly telling everybody how she craved curry puff. She blamed it on the FB application where there's this picture of curry puff. Fine. So when she told me about it, I told her just to delete the pix. Simple solution right?

But noooo. She included me in her masak2 project. Her curry puff project ler. We decided on yesterday to do this project. Her enthusiasm was evident by her buying 2 packet of potatoes. Gilos.

We did the pastry first. Eh, correction. I did the pastry. It was quite hilarious la jugak as she was depending on moi yang definitely la x reti masak nih hahha It was the case of a blind leading another blind heheh

With the help of online recipe, I got the pastry right. Padahal kan I panicked jugak as while I was waiting for her to arrive, I tried to find the recipe, the page couldn't be found hahaha

So when the pastry was done, it was time to do the filling. That I left it to her. So she was the one who did the filling.

Glamer giler my kitchen yesterday huhu

Then it was time to get those babies into the pastries. This is the part that I loathe the most. Tedious nak mampus. If I were back in my hometown, I would just go and find a stall to buy the curry puffs. Yelah, nak support small industries business what? :D

The ones with better looking klim tuh would be mine hahaha She tried to blame it on her left handedness for her failure in fluting the pastries. Yo lah tuh. When we got almost one plate full of unfried curry puffs, I asked her to do the frying.

And the result?

We got quite a lot for the first batch. Almost 20 sthg kot. We stopped awhile to enjoy our hard labour. We already had our lunch so it was time for tea break.

As we still had a lot of filling, we decided to do a second batch. And this is when Pres decided to come to memantau hahha

As I was lazy to get my butt up, I asked her to fry the second batch. While doing work of coz got some mencecer session kan? This is what happened to the last frying batch

ok?

how about this? :D

So overall we made about 40 sthg curry puffs. Cool eh?

Christm@s C@r0l

Yesterday I attended Mih@ra kinder's christm@s party. Or something like that. I like it when they organise certain functions such as this as this is when you can see the moms around the vicinity.

After the playing time as well as singing in the class, all the kids moved to the gym for the performance. Santa even came visiting okeh? He was captured wearing bling bling boots hehe The visitors were told before that the one who played S@nta is one of the teachers in JHS as he has a belly ;D

Neway, giler meriah la the kids clapping to the merry tunes while santa made his round shaking hands with the kids. Santa ckp Nih0ng0 you hehehe Then it was time for the mothers to come in. A few were even seen carrying babies in their arms. Giler dedicated ah

can you see a kid hanging on her mom's leg?


the kids were impressed with the performance

ended with P0ny02's song

Who said only Malays who are obsessed with songs? Here, they have songs for everything maa. Sh3rry asked me whether this kind of thing (as in moms coming to perform in schs) happens in Msia. According to her, who's a teacher in Philippines, it does not happen.

But the best part must be the Q&A in my class. My class this time consists of the most senior kids in sch. The environment was so serious, I tell you. Nothing like the other classes I had attended before. Must be bcoz they are going to real school soon kot.

One of the questions asked 'Sensei, nansai desuka?' hahha Gilos The sensei pun terkebil2 je looking at us. He didn't know how to proceed maybe heheh When it was my turn, he just couldn't look me in the eyes. Yela, that question is considered taboo to be asked to women here

Selamba je la. I answered of coz. Like keeping it a secret will decrease the number pun cheh

Hot Rod Sleigh

I guess my Christm@s came earlier this year. Got my parcel yesterday wohoo I've been waiting for the biscuits even though the one that I wanted (Julie's choc fudge) wasn't available. X per ah, at least there are other biscuits.

I got one box each for instant cake n cookies. Pres, tumpang oven hehehe Owh, can you see that pink package? My fav cough syrup hehehe

D3vil In My Lunchb0x

I was late for my lunch date with B at the cafe yesterday but when I arrived I saw she was talking to one of her ID3C friends so okay la. I didn't feel guilty that much hahaha The plan was to try that potato and mushroom sandwich as it was the only one that didn't contain bacon. Or so we thought.

The waiting time for the meal was quite a while. I was quite worried that I would finish my drink before the sandwich arrived. And I had an appointment with my sensei at 1. Haih

So when that device beeped, I hurried to the counter to get my sandwich. And much to my dismay, it had bacon. Arghh bencinya. It was not stated in the menu pun. Bongok betul.

I was thinking there goes my lunch. Went to the counter to say that I couldn't eat the sandwich as it contained meat. In English la kan hahha I even felt yg my face looked bengkek. Ah well, that comes naturally to me.

I tried asking for another sandwich and luckily the lady agreed. Though I quite worried that she would only take the bacon out and give back the same bread. While thinking abt that possibility, had to wait again for the 2nd time. Aiyo

That kind of thing had happened before on one of our school visits. The cook only took out the chicken from our fried rice. Masa tuh I already finished my lunch when K Amy came in to tell me about it. She found chicken in her lunch while I didn't. Luckily it was chicken if not mau muntah kat situ gak

So when the sandwich came, I checked the condition of the bread. Ok, new bread and I think having the cheese in the sandwich made it difficult to just take the bacon out. Sib baik. While eating, the rest of the Id3C gang came in. Finally met one of those ppl with that strange name heheh *D0d0k, jgn report kat dier heheh

Arrived at my sensei's office late and when I apologised for my tardiness, he said it was ok since I was always punctual hahha And oi it was not our last session for this sem pun Arghh There will be one more in J@n for this sem. Aisey

On a positive note, there's my encouragement to continue my writing :D

An Old Memory Found Its Way Back

Whose tudung is this? Siap berhanger but then she found that she got headache if it was hung near her. So in the end, it had to be positioned on my side. I had no problem with it.

But the problem was with the one who sat behind me. He complained that he got sick seeing the tudung swinging in the air :D

Seeing this reminded me of how the kids in that school used to carry their baju batik or/and tudung if they have to go somewhere. And while waiting for their things to be uploaded into the stomach of the bus, multiple colours of hangers could be seen swinging at any bars they could find.

Ah, memories.

Work Is A Four Letter Word

Tag from K Amy

I was asked to capture a pix of my work station.

Though I doubt I do a lot of work here. Most of the time, it will be bcoz of some kind of telly series or movies hahaha

The station will never be neat. At least neat by your standard. There will be bowls, mugs, plastic wrappers and tissues lying around the table almost all the time. Malas maaa

And this tag stays put, not going nowhere * I could hear sounds of relief there heheh

There He Goes

Adala org nih asik nak amik gambar lompat je. Dari mula trip until almost the end ok? The problem was that none of us knew how to do it. And we were not even sure the cam's shutter would be able to capture him doing his jumps tuh. But try we must. Kang kene balik naik bus lak kang hahaha So bagi chan la kira

So many pictures of him doing the jumps and some of the shots tuh even looky eery ok?

what's up with the head? ;p

spidey-like pose

But it's true that we need to keep on trying to get what we want. After all the shots finally we managed to get a shot that we wanted.

look at me jump ;)

His comment? Something to the effect that at least he got this shot. Dahla he got frustrated with the absence of N0r1tak3 in C0sc0. Good for ya then :p

So tuan puan and adik2, usaha itu tangga kejayaan heheh

Oh ye, one kata azimat given by Pres 'Ha K B n K J@s jgn trauma ok' hahha This was given after that sesi bawah kelambu hahah Trauma pasal aper eh? Adala...

Don't Look Away

I can't remember which one was first; the Jur@ssic P@rk ke 3T? Hmm anyway, both were quite interesting. And for different reasons.

The one at the JP was extreme. The car climbed so high and was steep as well so I tot it would be a very high drop. But no. So I was like wth? Then Pres said sthg about a dinosaur coming. Ok so I was looking forward to it. When the dino appeared, it was opening its mouth la aper la. I was thinking la camni je ke?

And while I was busy looking at the dino, that was when it happened. The ride dropped suddenly. Ah, no wonder la Pres sengsiang lagik dah tunduk hahah Tapi best giler. When it happened, I remember I thinking 'Okeh, this is more like it'

When we walked out, I found out there was a pix of us. Some of us really wanted to see the pix as we wanted to see how our face looked like hehehe No idea when the shot was taken. Must be right before the drop or slightly after it.

Not very sure whether it was a face of frozen horror ke aper ke but it was definitely not a pout. As the one I gave after the Spidey's ride. And now you understand why I'm the pres for that saiko club hahah

We wanted to go for W@terworld but it was closed. It was already dark by that time so no chance la. The guys wanted to see T3rmin@tor and when I was told that it was a 3D, I was like erghh

When we reached the Term's place, the next show had not started. But we could see many people had taken their spots in front of this one stage.

So we went to the crowd to see the performance as well. Of all the angels, the one that looked really graceful would be the one on the rooftop. Chief angel kot tuh. And after she wished merry christmas and happy new year, from a graceful live angel she turned to stone. Very dramatic. Well, at least that was how I saw it ended heheh

Only after the show had finished we went to see the Termin@t0r. As I expected, not real. Tho the host was doing a very good job in handling the crowd. Acting skills were superb. But then again, she has been doing this for so many times kan. Practice makes perfect, they say.

3D sucks here big time. The rides were superb. While watching T3rmin@t0r, my mind couldn't stop reeling from thinking how it could have been presented to the audience. Tho this time I couldn't really shout 'Gimme more, gimme more' as we sat with many others. I shouted that phrase while watching Sp1dey.

Part shopping tak best sangat. As I was hoping to find things with USJ on but none. They only sell characters with USJ on them. Bosan. I ended up with keychains of 3lm0 n 3rni3. I bought 3lmo headbands for the nieces. Biler sampai to them tuh lain citer heheh

As no interesting eateries here in 0s@ka, we headed back to K0b3. The fact the place is on the way home made the agreement easier hehehe

It was either the nan place where CT had dined before or the Indian restaurant. We chose the latter as the place served briyani.

It cost 1, 500 kot per plate. Giler kan? Almost 50 ringgit. Tapi crazy la if you want to convert every thing. Sure x makan punye. I allocated 50 thou for this trip but I only used 30. Mcm x caye je heheh

We arrived in S@ijo around 2 sthg. Sampai je threw all the bags and slipped into the duvet. Giler ngantuk.

It was a great trip. And having the ones that we can get along with made the trip sweeter. When I got the pix from other cams, I couldn't help but smile. And laughed too. So many funny incidents happened and the essence can't really be captured through writing. Experiencing it will, tho.

Paling best ialah part menyakat hahha Sapa eh yg kene selaloooo? Cuba teka hehehe

Shark Attack

One thing that is difficult was finding food. All of us were already hungry so we decided to find a place to sit for lunch. It took us quite a walk to find a restaurant that served food that we could eat. And of coz a restaurant in a theme park will cost a bomb. As we were hungry, we just went ahead and ordered.

We paid 800 yen each just to get a slice of pizza and a bit of french fries. Dari x der kan, so bersyukur la heheh As we just had lunch, we agreed to take a slow ride. If not the 800 yen food would come climbing out from the mouth la pulak

the food

We took the J@ws ride. I think the best spot would be by sitting at either ends of the boat. I sat in the middle so the effect wasn't really great. But for those who sat at both ends, not only they could see the shark popping out from the water but they got splashed by the water as well :) How's that for effects eh?

buggy parking - a common sight here

while waiting for our turn, x de keje :p

Seeing J@ws really relived my childhood memory. Not so much becoz of the film but the effects after it. I'm not really sure which one is the reason; it's either I was very scary or the fact my name sounds like it but the kids in my primary school used to call me by this name hehehe Mocking of coz
